Last August I had a little trouble with my back.

Yeah. Just a little.

Today I went to the “Y” to get some training on equipment so I can begin strength training – after months of swimming I haven’t had an ounce of pain in my back – until today.

Today, I had great form. I didn’t lift too much – all I want is a little resistance, just a few pounds. The trainer said I did wonderful, and we talked about my back so it was taken into consideration as I learned the equipment and she explained how NOT to use my back and how to concentrate on the muscle groups.

Except for that last piece of equipment – I think I may have used my hips instead of my obliques to do an oblique twist. Maybe. Because when I got home and went to open the curtains – I heard a snap.

Then I felt the snap.

Then I started cussing.

Then I went on a cleaning spree in my kitchen.

Then I went swimming for a while in a warm pool.

Then I went and swam in the lap pool (cooler water temp).

Then I took two Aleve.

And now I’m going to bed.

The end.
