Injury and Pride
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
I don't like not being 100%. I am not taking it well. Luckily, for my pride I have been busy with the kids, and the class times, have just not worked for me. I am not sure what I did. There is no ONE even that I remember doing and then saying, “oh , that hurt." So that is even more frustrating. This pain is giving me time to think about what is going on in my life and what I need to let go of in order to stay sane.
It is also really ruining my Triathlon training. Here, I have this great goal for the new season and I am not able to do my training fully. I do have a good, fun group of people that are very excited about this Multi-sport activity, and it is helping my spirits. :)
Here is a poem I found:
THE SQUAT
Down this road, in a gym far away,
a young man was heard to say,
“no matter what i do, my legs won’t grow”
he tried leg extensions, leg curls, and leg presses , too
trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he’d do.
from the corner of the gym where the big men train,
through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
where the noise is made with big forty fives,
a deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees.
a very big man with legs like trees.
laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
chalking his hands and monstrous back,
said, “boy, stop lying and don’t say you’ve forgotten,
the trouble with you is you ain’t been SQUATTIN’. “

Coming soon: fun, and slightly strange food video's!

The injuries, pain, inability to be at full speed are all supremely frustrating....I completely understand. I have been dealing with my own injuries, pain etc...for what seems like an insanely long time but there is an upside. It allows for creativity to flow. If I can't use one part of my body well then how about this or that or this and that? I have been able to come up with ways to make the most out of what feels good and strong while letting the other parts take their time to heal and rest. There is nothing fun about having be patient when you are focused and ready but we are in it for the long haul, right? So this is just a drop in the proverbial bucket.
What's this about pain Cyndee? Where are you hurt?
Ugg me2, dealing with my wrists. My hands are almost healed up and all smooth. Its kinda creeping me out.
Cyndee sounds like you might need a vacation to Hawaii or something!!! Tee Hee. I am thinking about going for coffee rehab. Do you think our insurance will pay for a 6 week Hawaii coffee rehab ?
Meghan - Great points. I do need to focus on something a little more and do what doesnt hurt. Thanks! I can do upper body for sure. Going to do some swimming this weekend for sure!
Colin- It is in my leg/groin area- almost like a nerve or something. sending shooting pains with certain moves.... looking to Chiroprator today, maybe acupuncturist? Thought is was the 10 min squats... but just don't know. Ugh.
Jeff- I hear ya! I love my caluses! :)
Mom- YES! Let's go and try it! I am sure Hawaii can fic anything :)
oh no!!!! :(
