The pain of a missed warm up may not be felt during the game, the run, or the workout. But it’s often felt afterwards.
I was running late to a tennis match today, and I raced on to the court and began playing with a token warm up. Barely a few lunges and leg swings. To make matters worse, I haven’t played in a many weeks.
I’m sure the tightness and aches in my back I’ve been feeling the rest of the day are directly tied to this (poor) decision.
This isn’t a lesson I want to learn a second time.
