TR vs the future
-
Everyone goes through slack times. It's Sunday arvo here now, and I'm struggling to force myself out the door into the drizzle for a hill workout. Let's make a deal, if I go up now, you hit the gym next week! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
Hope the foot clears up. Have a rest then MWF (if time) hard busy upper body sessions and you'll be able to drink while watching the test on Saturday. -
did my best bench in about 10 years today!!...[size=1]only cos I got an extra 80kg of weights this week, I was able to put more than just 70kg on the bar!! [/size]<br />
<br />
Good chest, abs and back workout, got myself one of the pull up things for the door frame, lats feeling it after doing a few everytime I walk past it for the past 3 days!!<br />

Foot still not right, on a scale of 1-10 (10 being high) pain threshold, only about 3-4, it hasnt really improved, nor got worse.<br />
<br />
Been the the Doctor, had it x-rayed, had some blood tests (for gout and something else she mentioned) and the diagnosis was that it will get better and can still run on it, she said it was likely somethign had burst under there which is causing the minor discomfort.<br />
<br />
As an aside, holy shit x-rays are expensive nowadays (thank god for Southern Cross!) -
Nice bro! yeah weights aren't cheap, neither is health insurance!!<br />
<br />
Take it easy on the foot bro, better to scale back your running and let it come right than push too hard. Last thing you want is to make it worse. Then again the doc has given you the go ahead so that is good for some peace of mind. Hope it sorts itself out soon> -
I been waiting for ages to get some weights, pretty much have what I need now in terms of weights and accessories (squat rack, punch bag, bench.<br />
<br />
yeah it doesnt hurt when I run on it, will go for a light run tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I was more concerned I may have had a stress fracture or something, so that has been put to rest anyway! I worked in Med Insurance when I lived in the UK and is yet another insurance I feel I should never be without... -
went for an easy 5km run tonight (TR Jnr on his bike, and still have to push him up some hills) foot pain got to about a 5/10 in first few hundy but after that, barely noticed, and is feeling fine now.<br />
<br />
I got some prescription anti-inflammatories so they will help if I have aggravated it. -

I prefer running while my kids bike alongside. Its fun. I dont like running so much with my 11 year old son though, he just leaves me for dust nowadays. -
ha, my boy is about right for a final sprint and I can still just beat him, but he is getting quicker!

it wont be long!!!! In fact I prefer running on the treadmill at home and yelling at the kids to keep filling up my water bottles! -
just as the foot came right, I tweaked somethign in my back on Friday, spent most of yesterday flat on my back (sun was streaming through the windows) was a bit off this mornign still, but took TR Jnr swimming and spent some time in the spa as well...feeling about 75% now, so should be all good in morning.
-
lack of moving due to sleeping tightens it up....popped in on my chiropractor on the way to work, he had had a cancellation, sweet!<br />
<br />
Already feels much better. -
so despite back feeling about 75%, still wasnt right, worse to come, I put my neck out (apparently a common thing when you have a back issue due to tossing and turning during sleep using your neck to turn) back to chiro today...<img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /><br />
<br />
Now almost 2 weeks since last workout, and feeling stink about it!!<br />
<br />
Might go for a long walk tomorrow just to loosen everything up! -
Aw man, that is stink news bro. At least you are getting treatment. Could always focus on kai while you can't train and try and lean down a bit?? something to keep you actively working on your health while you heal?<br />
<br />
Take it easy tho, a work mate has a problem with her back and has setbacks from trying to do too much, too early. Frustrating but much better than prolonging the injury! See Bartman for tips on rehab lol -
Haven been going silly, but food has changed a little, the wrong way!!<br />
<br />
Back to Chiro on Monday for a check up, but hopefully be all but normal by then, this is a long time for me to have a back issue han about! Worst bit was, it was getting a 1kg item out of the boot of my car that did it FFS! -
I am not getting old! I am not getting old! I am not getting old! I am not getting old! I am not getting old! I am not getting old! I am not getting old!<br />

<br />
THat should be right for another week! -
My Nan used to say something along those lines!
-
been to chiro twice this week, back is about 90% now, still a wee bit tight, neck also about 90, with more tightness to the left...<br />
<br />
I did 5 x 25 decline push ups and 5 sets of 10 pull ups along with abs on Wednesday, feel pretty good.<br />
<br />
Will go for a walk/run tomorrow and hopefully back into full swing next week.
