I worked out my frustration on not getting a workout in on Wednesday and did a brick.  I ran the short riverbottoms run with the jr. high warm up.  Afterwards I biked around the golf course.

During the day my back was killing me.  It was about as bad as it has ever been.  Nate massaged my neck a bit and it feels somewhat better this evening.  I think the low areo bars of my bike is playing havic on my neck which hurts my back, hip and makes my calfs go tight.  That is a weird combination, but it is a long story.

I don't know if I can continue to use the bike, if  my neck is going to go bad.

Sorry to hear about the neck. I hope Nate can work some magic to help you deal with that. It's strange how tension in one area of the body can greatly affect a completely different area as well.
