another injury...arrggghhh!!


so saturday i pulled a calf muscle playin bball. if you'd call it playing, i ran up the court once, trotted really and trotted back down the court and went to make a sharp move i guess and felt something pop. i dunno if it was as bad as a pop, but i knew something was wrong right away and i stopped. i'm still getting over the hamstring pull i got back in nov i believe. its better but i'm sure its not 100%. the hamstring i can understand. i over did it in the gym then pushed it by playing ball the next morning. the calf, i don't get it. didn't feel anything all week. the previous week i played and had no problems. stayed and shot around for about an hour or so after and felt a little something but was able to still shoot around. didn't feel any pain. this saturday i didn't feel anything when i stretched and when i shot the ball around. i wasn't even going anywhere near full speed. the injuries are getting to be depressing. i walked the treadmill for an hour the 2 days before and didn't feel any discomfort with my calf. i'm trying to shed some unwanted fat and bball and walking were gonna be the preferred method and now i'm injured again. the calf feels pretty good today. i iced it on saturday and took something to bring down any swelling that might be going on inside. its not sensitive to the touch and by today i'm walking without really noticing that i have the injury. so i'm hoping that from being in decent shape, this will heal quickly. i'm gonna give it 2 weeks before trying to run again. and i guess for now i'll just walk on the treadmill. with the injury and being so tired from the baby's hours, the motivation to get to the gym is low. but i can still work other body parts and in the meantime. hopefully we'll get back to some kind of a schedule soon. i'm beat by the end of the day, more than ever. its about time to pack up and catch my train. later.
