Let me see how can I explain my Bitchiness after the workout. I woke up late and early this morning sliced through the injury to my finger (popped blister type injury), it hurt and bled forever. I was 10 minutes late for work, didn't get a whole lot accomplished early. Then went to assist at a scene...several hours out in the cold hunched over, many more cut/pokes into the injury on the finger (4 blood soaked bandaids) later...my back ached and my leg was killing me, I was actually limping fairly decently around 430pm and wasn't really looking forward to heading to the gym. But I did.
The fact that Thursday is normally my day off from the gym really had absolutely nothing to do with the attitude.
I got there and decided I was sure I would finish in the 45 minutes, then the cutoff time became 40 minutes...I was going to push to be in my last exercise at 40 minutes. I started with box jumps this time so breathing wouldn't make it harder than then the stiffness and soreness. I did my juming pukkups in the red bands...harder than last time and still thought I'd make it. I pushed through the pain in my shoulder for the burpees, KB swings and push press. To be left with only 2 albeit scaled things left to do- situps and tuck jumps. I still think I would have been able to finish them if not before 45.00 before 46.00, therefore taking time off from last time I did this in November.
By then my shoulder was on fire, my back brought back to the forefront after the extensions, and I had a headache to add on to everything else. Once it dawned on me how bitchy I was being about the whole thing I decided it was best to leave than to stay and risk getting more worked up about it.
So I guess I should say I'm sorry about the attitude, at the time I just couldn't control it enough to know that I should have just not said anything.
Hey Cheri,
ReplyDeleteLooking at your blogs the last week or two - it seems like that shoulder is really affecting your workouts. I know how hard it is, but maybe taking a week off would help. If it has the time to heal, you're just gonna be that much better and stronger. Like I said - I totally understand why you wouldn't want to do that, but there's a huge contingency out there that swears by giving your body time to heal. So, just a thought/recommendation from the peanut gallery.
Ok - enough mother-henning!! As usual, you are doing FABULOUS!
