My back is officially killing me. I haven't been able to do much of anything the last couple days, and it's all because my lower back is trying to tell me something - and not too subtly either. On Sunday morning, I rented a chainsaw because we had some old lumber in our back yard. This was left over from when we had some trees taken down about a year ago, and we were keeping it for firewood. It had really just become a eyesore of a pile of pine since it was too big for us to burn in our firepit. I spent a couple hours out there cutting each of the pieces into smaller portions that would allow us to burn them, but the constant lifting and bending really took a toll on my lower back.
I'm starting to feel as if I'm making excuses for not working out (international travel, back problems, etc), so I have to really fight through the next few weeks and make a concerted effort to get back into the swing of things. If it were just me being lazy, then I would be disappointed in myself, but I have had legitimate reasons for not working out. That doesn't let me off the hook, though. I need to buckle down and get at it again.
Now, having said all this, I will be buying my 2013 Tough Mudder Annual Pass this coming week, which means that I'll have to run in at least 4 Mudders to make it cost effective. That should definitely put a fire under me.
