Slightly sidelined and chiropractic love

I am the first to admit that I am uncoordinated at times. Today at the gym, I was walking along minding my own business and I slipped off the side of the belt. On all of the other treadmills there is about 2 inches at either side of the moving belt that I know to normally avoid. But on this one the best was moved all the way to the left, leaving a 4 inch danger strip on the right side. About 20 minutes in, I stepped on the danger zone and performed a great standing stunt. A little two step with a hop and a flip, you might say. I managed to stay upright by grabbing the bars and totally wrenching my lower back. I've tweaked my back before, but this was a big one.

I managed to get to into the chiropractor at 11am. I love, love, love my chiro. Turns out I threw my sacroiliac joint (see image above) and pulled my glute muscle on my right side. Yes, I broke my butt. I got some heat, some ice, and after 4 minor adjustments (read: small woman pushes hard on my back and the table goes "kaPLUNK") I felt awesome. She did a minor massage and then an ultrasound. I walked out feeling completely mended.

I didn't mention the derby thing to her during our small talk. I have a feeling she'll be seeing a lot more of me eventually.

My workouts have been hampered for the week. No lifting weights and only light cardio as I see fit. Britt and I have it worked out. I'll just start week 2 of my plan after this week of healing. Little bump, no biggie.
