So, I was on top of the world knowing I was going to get to do my fight. But, then I talked to my husband. Sigh. He made me realize that my brain and my family need to be more important than a hobby. I can work through muscle issues, ligament issues...but my brain? I can't re-grow that. I'm 80% sure that after talking to Lisa I've had at least 3 minor concussions. The more impacts I take in sequence the more at risk I put my brain. This sucks. Because of my injuries I've had to put off family and fun stuff and sleep or recover. I can't afford to let days with my precious children slip by simply for a hobby. I can't afford to damage my brain, because it won't recover! So, I went to my personal training session ready to tell Cyle that I was ready to put this goal off. I'd still like to face someone in the ring and put my boxing skills to the test! But, I will wait until I'm ready and healthy. Craig helped me find perspective. He is good about that!
So, I had a great dynamic lifting session with Cyle and then a huge boxing workout. It was great fun! Other than my dumb back locking up on me I again, I felt good about my decision and felt a weight off my shoulders...if not added on my SI joints and pushing on my sciatic! hahaha.
So, I'm out of the fight. But, I truly believe it is for the best. I haven't been sparring long enough and I'm not used to taking punches enough to get through training. I'm trying to tell my heart that I didn't give up, I was just smart and put it off until I'm ready.
So, I guess that means I have no excuses to cut my running anymore...now if it would just be spring.
