Crossfit: Week 3, Day 3-5

Wednesday was a rest day.

Thursday was the first day I had to 'quit' a workout.  It really bothered me when it happened but it was the right call.  Deadlifts and cleans and burpees were just too much for my 'work in progress' back muscles to handle.  I could feel it getting beaten up and just called it a day.  It was crazy sore but some Ibproforen and ice/rest/elevation last night and it feel better today.

I hate the idea of taking today off given how far I feel like I still have to go but my back isn't 100%.  We'll say maybe 85%.  I may go and do rows.

This wasn't a 'crossfit' injury by any means.  My coaches were really stressing form and deadlifts are just a lot of stress on your back.  I'd slept wrong the night before and was having some back issues before I even walked into the gym.  I'm feeling better than I have in a few weeks with my back/core and I think if I can keep it up it won't be too much longer before I'm able to do these things.  Unfortunately for me Crossfit is lifting weight and that's the one thing my back doesn't want me doing.  Baby steps.
