Day 96 - Slacking Off

I've been slacking off on my workouts and rehab lately. I've been bummed out my progress which has been slow. My hip has improved to the point where I am walking without my cane. What worries me is my lower back which I sprained two weeks ago when I went out for a bike ride and stood and hammered the pedals. Should have known better after being off my mountain bike for three months. I was dealing with the same back injury before I broke my hip. I don't know why. I used to be able to stand and hammer the pedals with no problems. Now every time I do it, I sprain my lower back. I am beginning to doubt that I will be able to race in the mountain bike race series in Brownsville this year. The first race is in October. I've competed in the races for the past three years. I will miss racing.
