Out of Commission for a Few

Well, I feel kind of dumb.

Yesterday, I was doing some more of the Caribbean Workout Stretch Into Yoga dvd, trying out the other two segments. I got through the first segment, Basic Yoga, without incident (well, except my cat was under me when I was trying to do Downward Dog). But when I was working on the other segment, the Strength one, I injured my back a bit.

Shelley McDonald was going rather quickly through some sun salutations, and in an effort to catch up to her, I think I didn't do something properly. The next thing I know, something just felt a bit wrong in my back. I immediately stopped what I was doing (and ended up stopping the rest of the segment). Whatever had happened, things felt a bit off, rather than completely sore.

A little while later, things still didn't feel right. But luckily by that time I was able to figure out what must have happened. I think I tore one of the muscles on my low back (the left side). So I'm going to take it easy today again, and hopefully be okay to go skiing tomorrow night (if it isn't too cold out!)
