SITUATION: So a week ago (to the day, so Wednesday) I pushed myself a little too hard on my deadlift. I was lifting around 6am. My back was sore hours afterwards and continued getting worse throughout the day. I thought to myself that Wednesday night that "If my back is worse Thursday morning than it was Wed night that I would not be able to get out of bed to go to work". So that Wednesday night I did some soft yoga targeting the lower back (followed a video I found online). That Thursday I felt a little better, but not fully. That Thursday night I played racquetball and that really helped l

I will clean this post up as the days go on, but I am squeezing it in at lunch, and wanted to get in on the fun before this 6-week challenge got to far along! I was a Scout at the beginning of last year, trained all summer long and left the 6-week challenge Nerd-Crew due to time and changes in my training focus... Ran my first half-marathon in September and it was solid! SUCCESS!! Then I took a break, recovered and relaxed... Winter started up and disaster struck!

Both are nearly at 100%, though the ankle is lagging behind since... it's kind of hard to not use it. I have not gone climbing since. I shall return

Our story begins a long time ago, in a turn-based, text-based, role playing game called Vagabond's quest... TL;DR And ends, 12 years later, with me married to another gamer and expecting our first child together. When I joined The Rebellion, I was looking to lose weight, but the reality is that I'm 28 years old, the proverbial 'clock' scares the dickens out of me, and I told The Hubster that I'd either be at my goal weight or be a mother within a year. In my first challenge with The Rebellion, I actually lost about 8 pounds! I had busted through my first goal of 6 pounds and came out on

I am an injured, level one, dwarf rebel/adventurer (warrior aspirant). My exuberance nearly pulled a muscle out of my back. So I will mine coal, and tinker until I can reclaim my fortress body!
