lent my shoes to a coworker who showed up to work in boots (she works night shift) so I went over to AFH first to give her her boots and to get my shoes for work later this week.  They are my altras that I wear to work.  This made it so  I arrived at the rec center 10 minutes later (5:40) and no cybex or elliptical to be found free.  So I ran a mile (7:58) and quickly took a very needed potty break (that was locked too when I got there) then still no cybex trainer or ellipticals so I ran another mile before spin class (6:49).  Spin class 62 minutes spinning.  NO workout after.  Giving myself a break as I am being chastised at work for overdoing it.  Blah blah.  But you all understand right?  Okay so I went home and got kids off to school while fitting in Upper Body weight training.  Ate breakfast then finished with 90/45/45 planks x 1, 10 pushups and abs for 10 minutes.  My muscles are bulging.  Not sure if this is a good thing.  Really getting bummed about my ankle. The "tendon" is bulging again and my ankle seems not to be getting too much better.  I figure I am going to have to ignore it but it really is quite the THORN in my TRAINING's side.  Doesn't hurt in spin class and didn't hurt in the second mile....going fasterrr.....hmmm????

Holy flip that is a fast mile for having an injured ankle.

I think I agree with your co-workers that you may be over doing it a bit with the cross-training. Believe me I totally understand but maybe just cut it down to one spin class for a few days and see how you feel? Bulging muscles are awesome. :-)

Okay okay...but 649 felt easy comlared to spin class. Should I mention i did 50 morre pushups? 60 total with stability ball (minus 10 witbout, real way). I am popeye for sure now. No olive oyl here. The nerve in my ankle seems to be trapped on scar tossie cause if i massage the heck out of thrree places , painful i might add, the pain os minimozed greatly afgerward like right now.....no pain.

Julie, I'm so sorry! I wish injuries would just go away or we could figure out how to heal ourselves!

From Tara on Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 13:05:35 from 75.169.143.155

Ah man. 2 miles at a time. Read Sasha's post injury prevention in the discussion forum, some good insight for the gimp alike:)
