Lessons in pain



I've been doing a lot of this since Monday because my right shoulder is killing me. It's getting better this morning, but yesterday afternoon and last night I was dying. My pain, almost any pain from working out, follows a very predictable pattern. It goes something like this:



With the worst pain being 24-40 hours after the injury. This is good for a number of reasons. First, I know that it will pass. Second, when I reach that second day and I'm in agony, I know to wait a bit and see if it starts to pass. If it does there's nothing to worry about. If it doesn't, time to call a doctor. This is starting to pass though, so I'm going to wait it out. I am however, going to take another day off from Crossfit. I do feel the need to be active, so I guess I'll do some housework....

Sometimes you have to take a step back

 that's what I did this week. I did not look or think about my business all week. Okay, that's not entirely true, I thought about it...
