Kudos on completing the run though, OP. What charity did you raise for?

In his defense your injury probably is alot lower on the severity scale. back injuries are no joke. self imposed soreness isn't so bad.

I have to say I’m impressed. Even with a back injury, he could give it to you so good you can’t walk? Playah!

Have you ever had a back spasm? They are terribly painful. Be proud of yourself though because your accomplishment is awesome.

I would rather run a marathon everyday for a week then deal with even a 10 second back spasm, their so painful

Your pain is the result of exercise and in many respects was self-inflicted, his was a back issue which can be completely debilitating and may be a sign of a more significant issue,

I'm sitting here kinda perplexed about how other people talk about a back spasm like a singular event that puts you out of commission. My back is constantly out, my spine actively shifts back and forth when I am doing stuff day to day, and I get told to suck it up... This dude has a single spasm and it's oh no! lol

Yours is a choice his is not. Once he feels better, ask him to draw you a bath.
