Today was day two of my return to my gym and I am in pain yet again. This time it’s my lower back. I went a few rounds in boxing again and that was fine. We then went over some jiu-jitsu techniques and that was cool too. But we finished off the class by 2 minute rounds with other classmates. I was placed against a new guy named… actually I don’t quite remember his name. But he seemed set on trying to pin me and tap me out. It didn’t happen. We started off standing and I was holding on to his neck most of the time while he attempted to get under-hooks on me. That didn’t happen either. Eventually we fell over and I ended up mounting the dude and doing a poor-man’s choke on him. He tapped out and I didn’t notice, but since everyone was watching they yelled “Tap!” and I let go immediately. He was fine. Victory was sweet for a second until I felt a sharp pain on my lower back.

Books told me to stretch it out so I did that a few minutes. The pain was still there. I couldn’t get rid of it. So here I am now, hours after my little skirmish and I still feel a soreness on the right side of my back. I hope I have enough energy to play basketball tomorrow. Perhaps another fun injury awaits me there.
