Sunday – Marathon

Monday – rest day (could barely walk!)

Tuesday – 1 hour Attack

Wednesday – 40 mins Attack. Why only 40 minutes, you ask? Well, here’s why:

Maybe I haven’t recovered enough from the marathon before going back to gym, but tonight I just gave myself my first injury. Went to Attack again, hoping that my shin pain is well and truly gone… only to be replaced by an even worse ankle injury. It started throbbing after the aerobics track, and worsen after the lunges. I thought it was going to be ok after the push ups track, but got worse in the agility. The final straw was the interval track, when I nearly trip while doing the jacks. I had to leave 3/4 through the class. Just as I was already warmed up and enjoying the class, this stupid, STUPID leg had to act up. I’m really annoyed. But, I don’t want to risk injuring myself any further – so I just left the class. I limped my way to the lockers, got changed, and went to the chemist to get some Voltaren gel. It hurts more when I put pressure on the foot……. it was really bad, throbbing, stabbing pain. Good thing it’s a little bit gone now, and I can walk a little bit better. Maybe I should skip gym tomorrow and just give the leg a rest…. besides, there’s still Saturday’s Attack.

I’m actually making myself very, very proud lately. Consecutive Attack classes, jogging 12 out of 14kms of the marathon, and then going back to Attack again? Personal best, mate! But… I have to give it a rest tomorrow. It’s still throbbing a bit but I really don’t want to injure myself anymore. Oh haiiiiiiii.
