I wish I had impressive injury stories

Posted by Kevin Doak on Saturday at: 10:41pm (November 26th, 2011)

I woke up this morning, stood up out of bed and almost faceplanted on my floor.  The pain in my right knee was so severe I wasn't ready for it at all.  I recovered without further injury and spent my drive to practice, my entire workout and the 12 hours that followed trying to figure out what the heck I did to injure myself.

After all that consideration, I realized that I overstretched my leg during our dryland workout Friday morning.  I chose to do some extensive stretching and I took it too far when I was stretching my hamstrings.  I didn't feel it at all Friday and swam through some moderate pain Saturday.  I never thought for a second that something like this could create such severe paint the following day.

As I was writing this, I was wishing I had some more impressive injury stories like:

I strained my knee while saving an infant from a burning building!

Then again, I imagine everybody else who doesn't identify as a superhero has just as boring of injury stories as I do.  Until I recover, I'm the guy limping around looking like an wierdo.
