What else could happen
Great, just when things were looking good, karma came up and smacked the shit out of me again. Yesterday was a dedicated cardio and abs and things were going great. I did some work on the bike and raod for about 45 minutes, including cooldown period, then went over and did saome ab work. Rope crunches really kicked my ass, but it was all good. When I was completed with abs, I decided to play one of my troops in a pickup game of basketball. Things were good, I won the first, he won the second and then it happened in the third and final game….exteme pain in my inner left thigh……SON OF A BITCH!!!!
Let me tell you in hurt like nothing I had experienced before. I could not run, pivot or drive at all. My goose was cooked. Now here is were my foolish pride kicks in. Not to let him win by forfiet, and no to call the game for injury, I continued to play. I sucked it up and pushed on, hell I only needed 4 more points to secure the victory, why not. I ended the game on a sweet ass fade from behind the arch, called "thats game brother" in mid flight and hobbled my ass off the court.
Now that I had some sleep and went to chow, let me tell you that I am a complete idiot. It hurts like hell to walk, sit, almost anything. I should have just walked away and got checked out at our EMEDS clinic. But no, I had to be a toufgh guy and play injured as I always do….now I am paying for it. Training is going to take a hit for sure. I cant do legs, so there that goes. I cant run, and I am not sure how the other cardio machines(bike, elliptical) will feel so cardio is out maybe. Plus I have to still go to EMEDS and see what the hell is exactly wrong, which could mean light duty and no weights period.
So the moral to this story is simple, dont try to be a tough guy, or girl. If you feel the pain walk away and get checked out. We all have put to much time and dedication into this to be stubborn. So off we go to get checked out, wish me luck. As always Keep Pushing and Stay Tuff (you know what I mean) haha
