     So the pain has reared its ugly head again. I'm not surprised, but I'm still a bit disappointed. As I'm typing this now, after getting a night's sleep, I can say that the pain is still way less than at other times, but more than last week. I'm going to try to remember to stretch every 45 minutes today while I'm here at work to keep things from tightening up and twisting me. 
     I'm not sure why the pain came back the way it did. I suspect fighting with my uncomfortable chair all day had a wee bit to do with it; I felt tight all day. Today I'll also try to make sure I sit tall and no slouching, although at times it's an uphill battle in this shitty office chair. But no excuses! I should be able to handle sitting correctly and stretching and if I can't do that I really don't deserve to call myself strong. 
     I'm upset that I didn't finish some of the reps that I should have, upset that I felt weak after feeling strong the previous sessions. However, I know that it falls within the rhythm of life. Not every day can be killed. Sometimes we have to settle for poking it in the eye with a stick. Justin told me to stay positive, so I will. I'm positive that I shall not be kept down. Onwards and upwards....
