I’ve done something bad to my calf muscles and had to abandon my work out only 13 minutes into a 35 minute eliptical thingiee yesterday. It’s quite a bummer because now I not only have a weak knee but also seriously sore calf muscles. To top it off, digestive problems (which are always around the corner for me) is going to make swimming unlikely today. I’ve decided that I’m going to have to take today off, which will be the first day I skip a work out, but it’s sad nonetheless, since I didn’t get a full workout yesterday either.
Running is really painful. I don’t know why people do it. I don’t want to lead anyone on to the notion that I like to run, because I don’t. There’s a buzz or a high at the end, but getting it is really awful… like whoring for crack. My body is also rejecting it as evidence by my legs and knees, though with the PT (which includes regular leg presses), my legs are getting huge. I could seriously kick someone in the lower part of their leg very hard if I wanted to. Beyond that, I’m not sure what the function of huge legs with bad knees could be.
In other news, I’ve decided what chapter 3 of this blog is going to be. Since the race (and training for the race) is over at the beginning of June, I need something that starts in June so… MARTIAL ARTS! Woot. I’ll be starting a martial arts course in June that combines Taekwondo with Brazilian Jujitsu. I have no idea what that’s going to be like…
