[COLOR="Blue"][B]HAPPY NEW YEAR!!![/B][/COLOR]

I felt 90% today!!!:pepper: All of the stretching and rest seem to be paying off. I still waited until this evening to get some gym time in though.

I made absolutely sure to warm up and not go overboard.....:rolleyes:

I had a pretty restful day considering that we didn't get to bed until about 3:30 this morning.....:cool:

[B][I]CFWU[/I][/B]

I decided to do BW and resistance band exercises tonight. I'm still not 100%, so I want to forego any unnecessary lifting (cleans, OH anything and squats) until I feel that my back is good to go.

[B]WOD[/B]
6 rds, 12 ea

ring PU, lunges, core twists and rear fly w/ band, v ups and squats

I was primitive with the band movements. My daughter's bands were too girlie, so I tripled and quadrupled some bungees and went to work.

DIY at it's finest tonight.:p Need to price some quality bands, or refine this.....

I thought that my injury was getting better but I was wrong.....I woke up in pain and it didn't subside until around 4 p.m.

I did a ton of stretching and mobility exercises to try and loosen up my hips and back. It seemed to do the trick. I was determinedto be active, so i did somehting light.

6 RFT

100 rope undulations
30 stability ball SU~ 8:48

I didn't really work hard for time but I wanted to get my HR up and endorphines flowing....

[B]REST DAY[/B]

I am still nursing a sore back and hips. :crutch00:It's definitely time to seek some medical treatment.....I have felt like pure crap and really frustrated :wallbash:since late last month due to a lack of running and lifting some heavy weight.

Hopefully, there's nothing serious and I can return to my routine and continue prepping for the half marathon.

[B]REST DAY[/B] :(

I am planning to call for a doctor appointment first thing in the a.m.

So, I went to see the doc today. Went thru the standard Q&A, and didn't receive anything definitive.....I thought it would have been a little more fluid since I go to a clinic on a military installation.:shrug: May have some arthiritis in the hips or problem with my SI joint. I'll find out when my x-rays come back. Also, received a consult to physical therapy.

Besides, I had a new care provider who didn't know my medical history, so I had to explain a lot to her. At least she cleared me to resume working out, in moderation.:kicking0:

[B][I]Rope singles, recommended stretches and 30 push ups[/I][/B]

[B]WOD[/B]

4 rds

I've been helping my wife incorporate Crossfit into her workouts, so we did the reflex bag together after her mini WOD of 4 rds: 6 Sotts press, 6 dips and 6 sandbag rows.

I wasn't up to really doing a whole hellava lot today.....:(

Still feeling lame and in some pain, so I just walked the stairs in my house and did the doctor recommended stretches.
