Last night I totally felt like throwing in the towel. I knew this moment was coming, but I didn't think it would happen so quickly.
I am having massive achilles tendon issues and I know that I need to spend some quality time with my lacrosse ball, the wall, and on the floor stretching, de-knotting, and loosening. I also feel like a complete sped with the fact that I row instead of fun, mostly because of the joint pain, not because I don't have the cardio capacity. I am trying not to get upset with myself, and know that this is all part of the process.
But it's tough for a perfectionist like me.
I talked to a friend of mine who has been doing Cross Fit for a while and he told me this is all normal. That I need to take it for what it is, go slow, and build, so that this is an activity I can do for the next 30 years of my life. But I want to be the best at everything I do from the word go, and it's tough.
So here I go, back again tomorrow, hoping for an upper body lift and no running.
