Okay, my first post and its a bit of a rant, sorry about that folks.

I was down in the dungeon -as my kids call it- last night, doing a light leg workout and mixing some stuff up.  Had the squats going, some weighted lunges and then I go and try some bench hops.  I’m rocking the form too– back is flat, hands in a good position on the bench, there’s actually some good music on the satellite tv radio station finally, and then it happened.

I lose my concentration for a second and blam- I don’t make it all the way across the bench and slam my foot down.  There is no sound other than the muttered profanity coming out of my mouth, but I know something’s not right–you just know.

So up I go to the freezer, grab the ice bag and plop it on my foot. I know I’ve broken my toe–hoped that I had just jammed it up, but no, its broken.  I wake up this morning to the throbbing and the beautiful array of colours on the toe beside my little toe–how’d I break just that one??  It hurts like a sommanabeach, and there goes the leg workouts, the treadmill and, heck, even walking normally for about a week.  Ugh.

Note to self–wear shoes in the dungeon from now on, and stay focused.

Its all life lessons, its all life lessons.
