Too Soon

Apparently, this can happen to people like me.

Huh? What does that mean? 😳

In a moment of enthusiasm, I climbed onto the reverse-extension machine.

A back extension? Flexion? Definitely one of those.

As I lowered myself into position, I heard a crack. Or a pop. Anyway, a loud noise—followed by a familiar pain.

Nooooooo.

I climbed off and said to myself, “Too soon.”

Just when the chiselling and buffing were starting to show.

I thought of that gym saying about noticing your own progress first, then friends and family noticing, and eventually the rest of the world.

I’m not sure where I was on that timeline before this disappointing little event.

I’ll be back.
