I apologize in advance, I really do. But I just need to whine - just a little. I am SOOOOOOOOOO over being injured. In fact, I'm so over being injured year after year. Since the year after my son was born, every Winter I have been injured. First it was 3 stress fractures in my foot after my 1st half, then it was tendonitis, then it was a torn calf muscle, and now it's a hamstring injury with a side of massive knee pain from trying to cross train. And I was just starting to really enjoy spin class!I'm writing this with an ice pack on my knee.
And yeah, I've shed a few tears this afternoon - not so much from pain, but from sheer frustration.
I have a call into physical therapy. (I called after hours tonight. So I'm not sure how long it will take for them to get back to me). I don't know if I can get in without a dr's referral. I'm not sure where to start. But I guess I have to start by asking questions.
But I'm frustrated... I was just getting back into the groove of early morning workouts and my mental health was much improved. But it looks like I won't be going to spin class in the am. I'm just hoping I can walk without pain. Because by this afternoon, well I'm limping.
Anyway, just needed to vent for a moment. Thanks for listening to me whine.
I'll let you know what happens with PT/Dr appointments as soon as I figure it out!

Have you thought about working with a trainer? I've had my share of injuries...then last year I went to work with my CrossFit trainer ( who is also a corrective exercise specialist). OMG what a difference she's made in my life. I've been running for over 20 years and this was the best year, running-wise, of my life.
ReplyDelete:( Yeah.. just FINISHED working with a trainer... got injured at the very end of marathon training ...
