It seems that I strained a muscle in my back Tuesday, probably in wushu. (Probably because muscles were already a little tight from working stuff through my SI joint.) Then I did more wushu yesterday, and more ab hell drills (which mostly I like, these days), and sword, and part of chen, and my back is really, really unhappy with me. So far it all seems to be muscular, and between ice and heat and the massage I had this morning I think chances are good that it will stay that way, but I'm feeling like I've been run over by a truck. Might be online, might not.

It's kind of interesting to just try to give my body what it needs (rest, heat, ice, gentle stretching) and to otherwise get out of its way and let it heal. Feeling better.

Took a nap, which is some kid of measure of how sore I was. Woke up a while ago, and just lay and bed and felt things rearranging and working themselves out. Except for the right side of my neck, which is still sore in a way that worries me, I'm mostly feeling a little worn, and worked over, but generally okay. Think I'll go ice my neck. And then maybe even clean the kitchen, or something else productive.
