Feeling a lot better today. The knot in my back that suddenly popped up on Saturday is gone. That one was strange. It was not lower back or neck/shoulders, areas where I’ve had trouble in the past and are a major source of concern. It was on the left side of the back below the shoulder. The best was to describe it was a knot – it only really hurt when extending or stretching my left arm. I can’t recall doing anything in particular that hurt it. Hopefully it does not come back.
Also, the neck and shoulder soreness resulting from my first bike ride of the season Saturday has melted away. So, I can clear myself to work out and swim at the gym again! Unfortunately it won’t be tonight, as tonight is my last group speed session in Central Park (running), which I don’t want to skip as it will be my last group organized speed session for awhile. So, speed workout tonight, and hopefully the gym on Thursday to workout and swim, and then another bike ride on the weekend, with another run mixed in between. I would really like to get to the gym tomorrow night, but the problem with Wednesday’s is that the window to use the pool for lap swimming is only 9-9:30.
