Disabled List

I hurt my back on a hard ride Tuesday afternoon. I did kind of a personal time trial to squeeze in 20 miles before a thunderstorm. Good news is that I beat the rain. Bad news is I woke up Wednesday morning and could hardly walk. Just a pulled muscle I think. Nothing a little Motrin won't cure. Needless to say I'm not commuting this week. Hopefully I'll be ready to commute again next week. Not sure why it happened. I think it was already strained before I rode because I felt the stiffness (but ignored it). Sometimes I don't listen to my body too well.

Wow, sorry to hear it. Can you think of what might have hurt it in the first place? Did you get a sharp back pain after any particular thing?

Sometimes, it is the damndest things that cause a back to "go out." I threw mine out once just twisting while I was bending over for something.

Listen to your back, it can easily put you on the DL for longer than a week.
