I wish I had impressive injury stories
I wish I had impressive injury stories
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.
