O-oh πŸ˜•. IC

β€’33 Replies

Something went in my back this morning during my Pilates class. Thank goodness I was in class in person and not online. My physio-Pilates instructor stopped me immediately, named the muscle which went (I can’t remember what he called it) and gave me some very gentle cool down moves to do before sending me home with RICE and gentle exercise advice.

Guess that’s me out of action for a few days then..... πŸ˜• just as Mymojo had returned too πŸ™„. Progress on The Magic Plan and LEJOG is going to be on pause, but it is what it is.

On the bright side, I’m also going to need to delegate a few household chores to my family ....... πŸ˜‰.

At least it's something that running shouldn't aggravate when you're feeling better.

Oh no! What bad luck. I thought Pilates was back -friendly too!

Hopefully it's just a muscle pull and you will be able to run soon! At least it's not a running related injury.

Take care, rest and look after yourself. πŸ€—

in reply to Roxdog

It’s definitely a pulled muscle. I think I over did it with the resistance band πŸ™„.

Oh noooooo! After all your wonderful advice to me on pain and injury this happens to you. Make sure you do the exercises and let your muscle heal. Thank goodness it is not a disc! I am going to try and catch up with you on Lejog as you are miles ahead of me.

I have seen my physio and she has recommended myofascial release massage which I am off to try this pm. Can highly recommend β€˜The Fall’ on Netflix if you want something to take your mind off it.

Take care, rest and above all...delegate! Xx

in reply to Timotea

Catch me up πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸΌ. I shan’t be going further than a few gentle dog walks later in the week.

Hope this afternoon helps. It sounds the right thing to try. Let me know how you get on. Xx

So sorry to hear that D-d - my back goes periodically and it can be excruciating! But fortunately it doesn’t seem to be affected by running - just everything else! I hope it heals soon and in the meantime make sure the family are well employed!

in reply to Oldgirlruns

Thank you OGR. I'm hoping it eases in a few days, though I'll delegate the household jobs first!

Oh that sounds painful so sorry to hear this. As you say it was a good job it was a live class and not on line. I'd definitely make the most of handing out those household duties πŸ˜‚

Rest up and listen to your body xx
