Serious Complaining
I am sure you don't really want to hear more complaining from me. However, since this is my blog, I am going to do it to anyway. When we first moved to California I had a hard time adjusting. I was so sad all of the time. Last March I started exercising (for real, and not just here and there) and I started to feel a difference in how I was feeling. I found that my classes and also helping coach gymnastics helped my attitude so much. Well, from previous posts you know that I have hurt my ankle. In two days it will have been 4 weeks. I was researching sprains and there are three types. 1st, 2nd and 3rd levels. I have level 3. It of course is the worst. I have torn my ligaments and am still in a lot of pain. I got on the treadmill today and it hurt so bad to put my foot in my shoe. I got walking (so slow!!!!) and had to hold on to the handles so that I didn't hurt my foot or fall off. I started to cry and cried through the whole exercise. It was hurting, but I was crying because of not being able to do what I want to. I was running and doing gymnastics and now I can barely walk and I have to hold on to even do that. It is very discouraging. I know that it takes time to heal, but I have not idea how long this is going to take and I really want to get back on track! So, now that I have my crying and complaining out I will try to avoid doing it about this particular item again. I can't say I wont complain about anything else though!

Try some other exercises. Do some strength training with other muscles. That will get you moving, and you'll feel like you are able to do something. Plus, the endorphins will help combat that depression. I felt super frustrated too when i got in my car accident. I had to take weeks off from the gym, and I thought it would take forever to bounce back. Then, this week, I've been wicked sick, and missed just over a week of training right before I'm supposed to start tapering off for my race (in 3 1/2 weeks!!!). I totally know how you feel. Find something you can do, and it will help. I promise. :)
you have a right to complain. being in pain is so not fun! i hope you heal soon:)
Katie, thanks for the advice. I hope you are feeling better now. Good luck getting ready for your race. Too bad to get sick right in the middle of your training!
Lisa, thanks. I hope so too! lol
