Yesterday was the first day of the PCP that I almost didn't do the workout. I'm hurting and I felt like my body needed a break. I pressed on and got the most of my workout though I was extremely careful with my form and about moving too quickly in and out of different positions. Then I had a long soak in the hot tub followed by really gentle stretching.
I hurt myself with the creeps the other day... I feel like I shredded my left quad and my right knee is tweaked too. I think I was too low, not sure. Anyway, I got through yesterday and will see how I feel a little later about doing the jumps. But for the first part of the day I'm going to take it a bit easy and just try to keep moving a little so I don't end up sitting still too long. Will continue the soaking/stretching routine too.
I've enjoyed reading about all the indulgences! Sounds like we've pretty much learned that we can live without the food we used to crave so badly!
I've been feeling a bit drained the past two workouts. I hope the pain from the creeps doesn't last too long. Wishing you fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteAlmost didn't do it, but you did it anyway. That's the way forward.
ReplyDeleteI've had a couple of days like that, it makes it all the more rewarding when you've finished!
ReplyDeleteNice job pushing through the workout. That's what it's all about. I would tell myself "I don't want to workout" and then would end up doing it anyways and always felt good that I did.
ReplyDeleteWatch the knees. You don't want to get injured and be out of the project, or injure your knees for good.
You'll heal up real fast. NEVER skip a workout if you're feeling tired. The irony of these things is that the workout will give you more energy. Skipping one sets up a nasty cycle of weariness and weakness.
ReplyDeleteErin - hope you feel better soon! I am still figuring out how to do the creeps. Are you walking around like a duck? Or am I missing something? Hot tub = happiness:)
ReplyDeleteSara, yeah, kind of like a duck but I think I would have been better in more of a proper squat posture... I was lower than that and it put too much pressure on my knees. I woke up really stiff and sore again today but did my workout and then met a friend for a long dog walk and I think all that moving around has done some good. I'm much less sore now!
