osodecanelaSo a month ago, I fell here on the property when the side of a trench dug to run an electrical upgrade to the barn was still open. Went down like a sack of potatoes in shorts no less, sustaining a nasty case of road rash up and down the anterior of my left leg from above the knee to just above the ankle. Hurt like an expletive deleted. My skin hurt to stand. In addition to the dermal shredding, I was bruised and swollen which made the skin even more uncomfortable.
Needless to say, hitting the gym would be out of the question for a couple of weeks. By the time I was well mobile again, I was launched head long into fire season in rural California. I wasn’t going to the gym given time issues; I was clearing brush and creating a wider defensible space around our house.
Well the rains have come, the devastating fires have been put out, and today I finally got my butt to the gym. The goal this week is gym daily for the week with a minimum of a mile run. Now I was running 5ks in 37-8 minutes. Today at 15 minutes in I was getting winded and opted to do a 1/2 hours run in 2 legs. I lifted first and decided 1/2 way thru the bicep curls I was splitting my sets, on either side of my run. Today it was weights, run, weights again, then run some more.
I’m feeling good now and will try this all again, mañana.
