 Today I woke up for the gym and my upper back muscle (the one I pulled on my previous workout) was sore. In order to determine if I could workout, I lifted my arms over my head and stretched. I felt pain, so I immediately knew I would not be lifting today. I woke Matty up and he was not feeling good. As it was to be his first day back at school after Winter Break, I told him to go back to sleep and di the same myself (after having my morning meal). Let this be a lesson to everyone. I could have gone to the gym, lifted and made my back worse, but instead of doing that I put heat on it and avoided stressing it out. I am now (16 hours later) feeling much better. In fact, I feel absolutely no pain in my muscle at all at this point. Listen to your body! Your body uses pain to signal things to you. You should never just ignore what your body is telling you. I know had I gone to the gym I would have missed several workouts. As a result of missing the workout this morning I marked myself off on that issue. It is the first red mark I’ve had in a very long time and I hate seeing it there, but I cannot avoid the red mark today. I was simply unable to safely workout. I am not going to risk the long term goal for sake of the short term goal. |

 No workout logs today due to the injury recovery time I took. I did manage to get in my evening cardio. I am using Cardio Coach Volume 2 right now. Sean O’Malley is a great coach, let me tell you that! |

 Injuries happen, so your job is to lessen their impact on your overall fitness program. |
