Back=Favorite!

I'm sure you'd never guess from all of the progress pictures, but not only is my back my favorite body part, but it is my favorite part to work as well.  I guess this is because I feel really strong when I work my back and I can see changes quickly.  The problem is that if I don't run after my back workout I get so tight and sore that I get terrible headaches.  Well, you can imagine the predicament I am in right now after taking 7 weeks off from running.  So frustrating, on so many levels.

I have not received my MRI results yet, but it was completed last Thursday.  Give me a break.

Anyhow, back to my back:)  I had a great workout this morning and included a bicep workout as well...my second favorite body part!
