More sets with Allen
We had a good workout - I didn't go crazy (on the advice of the chiro) but Allen did encourage me to add weight to the Leg Press, which made it more fun.
Yesterday I got the MRI results back - alas, a herniated disc at L5-S1 (the lower back)! Supposedly if I do the back exercises, it may get 95% better in a couple of weeks. Seems brief for a herniated anything, but what do I know.
BTW, for those of you who haven't had an MRI, they're (shockingly) -- fun! They make all sorts of noises while you're in them -- a disco/breakbeat rhythm with funky tones. Despite what they say, it's not particularly claustrophobic; it's wide, and the area past your head is open to the outside. Plus it was just 15 minutes, with the musical scans taking just 2 or 3 minutes apiece.

play that funky music, mri machine.
Yay!
Sorry about the herniated disk, CU, but I'm glad the recovery time is relatively short. What caused the injury?
Thanks Allen. Not sure, but the leading hypothesis is that as I was carrying the bike up stairs all the time, maybe I twisted the wrong way or something.
Interesting. So it wasn't the biking that hurt you, as much as transporting the bike around.
