When I started Crossfit the first time around, I knew it was going to suck for at least the first 6 weeks but then I would start to get used to it and I did.  I think that this time around, I thought the same thing would happen but today I realized that this time is going to be harder and take longer.

I tried to do today's WOD
3 rounds of:
5 hang power snatch/30 sec airdyne
-rest 1 min b/t rounds
then
3 rounds of:
5 squat clean and 30 sec AMRAP burpees ( I did the burpees just down to a box instead of the ground again)
-rest 1 min b/t rounds
Then
Run 1k (I rode 2 miles on the airdyne instead)

I put the weight at 95lbs for the hang power snatch and squat cleans, which used to be a very easy weight for me.  But each time I tried to take off from the hang position, I would get a shock down my spine.  I finally had to strip the weight off all together and just do the bar and try to practice my form. Even with the bar at 45 lbs, it was still shocking me and so my form didn't look very good.  It's frustrating because those weights really shouldn't be that bad.

I am going to the chiropractor and we are starting to get more movement in the spine but I think I need to add something else into my rehab like a sports massage or acupuncture or something else that can help loosen the muscles in my back and legs. There seems to be as many sports medicine/massage places in South Ogden as there are LDS church buildings.  Maybe it's some type of zoning requirement that they have to have so many per capita.  I'll have to see if anyone can recommend any of them.  Maybe what I'll do is wait until the next Groupon or Living Social comes out with one of them and consider that as a sign from heaven.  Nonetheless, I definitely need to add something else to my therapy because it's not fun not being able to stand up straight.

5-13 if you're starting to wonder, I really do wash these clothes every day.  I think about wearing other shirts but none of them are long enough if we end up doing pullups and I don't think people really want to see my belly flapping in the wind.
