So I went to the podiatrist this morning since the swelling in my foot really hasn’t gone down in 2 weeks.
They took another set of x-rays – turns out the hospital x-rays missed 2 fractures.
So I’m now in an aircast and they’re telling me 4-6 weeks before I can really start training again.
Going to try to lean out through diet and situps in the meantime. It’s about the only thing that doesn’t put pressure on my foot. Maybe I can find a pool and see if there’s a swimming WOD I can do???
My foot’s still not quite right yet, it’s still purple pretty much all around. I’m going to try to get to the box tomorrow night and Saturday to at least do something, whatever I can, even if it’s just simple stuff.
Been eating really clean in the meantime, just so I don’t balloon up.
You have to be kidding. Am I gonna start a new trend – 2 days on, 6 days off?
First of all, the WOD – back squat 5-5-5-5-5. I did 135-165-175-185-195. My 1 rep max was 225, so I felt pretty good.
So the injury: I managed to drop a 5 pound metal plate on my foot at the end, taking plates off the barbell. Didn’t break it, thank goodness, but it’s a bad bone bruise and I’ve been told to stay off my feet for a little while. I can’t really walk right now, just kind of shuffle.
Oh well, this means shitloads of situps the next few days.
Good to be back! Vegas was awesome, as always, though my WODs were basically walk, drink, play some poker, rinse, repeat.
Today was tough!
WOD: 5 rds for time, 21 sumo deadlifts (95#), 21 ring dips.
Scaled WAY down: after 1st round, I had to go to 15 deadlifts or I never would have made it. Did regular dips (handles of the back extension machine thingie) since my body didn’t want to balance on the rings today.
Time: 17:32.
Gone til Saturday – figuring on assorted in room tabata stuff. I don’t want to get stagnant!
