Well, another minor setback. I had a great weekend, lifter Friday, then bowled Friday night, got up and took the kids to a tournament Saturday early afternoon, and then took a little nap when we got home.
Apparently the nap did not agree with me. I felt great up until then, but ever since I uncoiled from the couch (which I do almost every weekend) ny lower back has been acting up. I know I have 2 bulging lumbar discs from way back, and the pain is not bad -- just nagging -- so I haven't been to see anyone. But I'm not going to do any lifting until it stops nagging.
I'm using ibuprofen and ice, aspercreme (which helps with the ache in the evening) and taking it easy -- no lifting, no stairs, basically not doing much of anything.
Ah well, hopefully it will be better next week and I can get going again. I've been having fun (did I just say FUN) with Stage 7, and Starting Strength arrived yesterday and I'm trying to decide if I want to do that or NROL next.
