I had to go to work today because I was not able to get a hold of someone that could have filled in for me. I felt like crap both physically and mentally because I did not sleep well last night. I could not sleep well because I was in utter pain after my workout when I through my back out. I through my back out because I got distracted while working out.

I did go to work and was in pain, but it subsided as the day wore on. I treated myself at downtimes and it did me well. By the afternoon the pain seemed to have vanished, so that was great. On top of that, it seemed like it was a pretty good day at work.

Went for a bike ride after work for an hour. I thought that I would be hurting, but I didn't. In fact, it probably helped it. However at one intersection that I had to stop at because of the traffic lights, the light turned green and someone on the other street had run a red light. So he hit a car right in front of me! I didn't see it coming until it happened because I was looking straight ahead. No injuries (thank God!) though.

Went to do a little swimming after dinner. It was nice and cool. Felt better. No pain at all now! I get a feeling that I should get a good night's sleep for the first time in three days.
