Pain in the Neck

My plan was to take a few days rest, maybe do some lower body or cardio based movements and see how that rest impacted my neck. Yesterday, I decided to go ahead and get an appointment with an MD setup in case the rest didn't do anything (which is tomorrow, I didn't think I would get in that quick) I figured I could cancel if things felt better (a little bummed I am not going to my normal Sports Med crew, they don't do neck).

From a workout standpoint, all I did yesterday was about 15 minutes of double under work, and about a 12 min spin on the stationary bike, watching my buddy Rich annhiliate himself (always fun to do). My neck was hurting pretty good after that, not sure what's up with that.

I will keep the appointment and go tomorrow.

Injuries suck! I realize that there's some risk for the occasional muscle pull, or strain, but DANG IT, I was really kicking some butt coming into the spring season. I got 2 commutes to work in last week and was stoked about my condition having been off the bike for about 2 months during winter (except for some rides at Ray's Indoor MTB Park). Some pretty rockin' workouts were thrown down over the past couple months. I don't mind the rest, but I want to do it on my terms!

Will update tomorrow when I get more information.
