This week has been totally upside down.
I didn't do my usual Friday workout of Combat, Pump, and Zumba. My shoulder pain is what mainly kept me from going - there was no way that I could do right hooks or clean and presses/shoulders. Once I decided not to go to the first two classes, I knew it was very unlikely that I would get to the third. At one point I thought I might battle the weekend crowd at the gym and do some cardio ... but seeing as it is almost 8 pm now and I've barely moved from my desk, that's not happening.
What can I say? Completing my abstract the upcoming Mexico conference as well as replying to several important emails took precedence, which basically means that I spent most of my day seated in front of my computer. Not ideal, but that was my reality today.
I do have to say that after resting the whole day and taking 2 painkillers, my shoulder is feeling much, much better ... hopefully I'll be completely ready for CrossFit tomorrow :)

One thing after another right? Motivation, Vacation, Shoulder issue... I feel like I'm in a similar boat... Wish I had magic words to make the zeal happen. Keep truckin' lady.
ReplyDeleteI do seem to have been having trouble this week ... oh well, I'm just waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel :)
DeleteInteresting that my right shoulder was quite bothersome when I first started CrossFit. As were my knees and ankles. Everything feels better now as I have gotten more used to working different parts of my body and am getting stronger. I think CrossFit just takes some getting used to.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that it's a serious injury, just a strain. I'm definitely not giving up and am looking forward to seeing improvement in my endurance and strength :)
DeleteSome days are totally like that, I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you look after that shoulder, other than a knee strain, shoulders are a pain, and yes, Pump can be brutal on a shoulder too.
Look after yourself this weekend <3
I know. I've learned to just accept those days that don't go according to schedule. It's life. I've just got to go with the flow :)
