Bummed

On Monday evening, while goofing around with the kids, I fell backwards and hit the edge of a flagstone bench with my back. I tried running and swimming this week, to no avail. I rode once and felt OK. Yesterday I took the day off thinking it would help alleviate some of the discomfort, but today I feel worse. I don't know what to do. I have a call in to a local physical therapist to see if maybe they can see me today.

I guess I'm just discouraged. I don't think I really mind the time off of training, but it scares me. I am trying to pray and know that God has this in his mind, too, but I can't help but be anxious. My coach said to just lay off, let it heal and I may even return stronger. I just know that my brain can go the wrong direction with this stuff.

Anyways, hopefully I can get some help.

On another note, it's Good Friday. Maybe in this time of rest it is a reminder of what Jesus did on the cross for all of us. In this time of discomfort and frustration, I can focus a bit more on the sacrifice made, rather than on myself for once. I know I will still think of "me" cuz that's what I do, but maybe I will be a bit more mindful today.
