Hercules not Superman

Apr 17, 2011

Today I needed to get up to the gutters on the house to reinstall some screening that the high winds had blown out of place. 

I was going to wait for my wife.. but she was busy, so I got the ladder myself. 

The ladder was much heavier than I remembered, and when I lifted up to the side of the house, I strained my lower back. 

Now when I stand up, I hunch over like an old man.

After working out at the gym and all that bike riding, I thought I could do anything.  Well, I did make the gutter repairs, but I suppose it was a lesson in being a little more patient and realistic.

I'm hoping this aching back heals soon.
