So lets start with last night. Dodgeball was great. Even though we didn't win the game, we did very well. I had a lot of fun. Sadly my left thumb didn't. On one of the rounds when running to get the ball, I managed to jam my thumb right into the ground. Not surprisingly I continued to play. It really wasn't hurting all that much. After the game I went home, took a shower and went to bed. That is when the throbbing began. I decided to just deal with it because I really do not taking any type of medicine unless I have to. So another restless night for me. The alarm rang at 0430 and I heard it and was awake but refused to move. Next thing I knew it was 0505. Time to get up if I was going to make it to the gym. Well I rolled out of bed and what do I get in my left thigh? A nice charley horse. Talk about something to wake you up. Luckily it only lasted about 15 seconds. After it subsided, I continued to get ready. Then without warning, I get a charley horse in my right thigh. This one was considerably worse and lasted a wonderful 15 minutes. So by now it is 0520, my thighs hurt and my thumb is throbbing. I would guess that some people would take that as a sign to not go to the gym but not me! I was running late which sucked. Managed to get to the gym at 0530. So now I was really pushed for time if I was to work out and get back to do everything in time to get to work. I was on the stairmaster for 20 minutes then hit the core for 10. Honestly I was very disappointed in this workout because I had planned on being on the stairmaster for 30 and then core work but I was out of time.
I knew lifting weights at least with my arms was out of the question because I had no grip with my left hand. I was really looking forward to the CF workout as always but I don't think it would be wise of me seeing as I am unable to grip the bar properly. I had planned on going to the Body Combat class so I went to that as my second workout. It was fun and I was definitely sweating.
As much as I do not want to, I have to take the day off tomorrow. I am going to the doctor to check my thumb. It is swollen and I have some green/purplish bruising going on. On top of that, my thighs are still quite sore from this morning. My thumb better be ready for Saturday though as I have kettlebell class and rock climbing class on Monday.
The pics: Not sure if you can really tell in the pictures what my thumb looks like but I figured I would try to show you.
