| | So this was summer that I was going to get into shape and have a healthy body that would make me proud, but my body has a different plan.
Between cardio and weight training, I have been in PAIN. The first time was because I haven't really worked out in a while (the elliptical doesn't constitute for much) and so I was really sore, to the point where it was really hard to sit on the toilet. After the first few days I thought that was the worse of it all and I could really start building resistance, but no.
Last night I got on the treadmill to jog two miles, when I hit the first mile I had to stop because my shin started to hurt. I was pissed because this was the next step, I have been slowly building resistance in running for a while now and I increased the duration of my sprint because it was time to, but no my legs couldn't fucking handle it. I'm used to walking at least two miles per day and it cracked so easily. So now I believe I have shin splint and I have to wait a while to start running again which I'm worried about loosing the resistance I built.
That's not my only problem, but sometime in the past I fucked up my knees. I really don't know how or when but I remember going up the stairs in high school and having them hurt. Sure I was active when I was younger but I don't remember a time where I have pushed myself to such extremes. You can always hear my right knee cracking and it's usually the one to give me the most problems, sometimes it starts to hurt while driving. At times it feels like there's a knife wedged in between it, and sometimes it feels like the muscle is tearing. Yeah, not good. My left knee isn't too good but it isn't bad. Usually it behaves, except for today.
I went to the movies to see Transformers and when I got up it was in pain. It's weird because I didn't run today due to the pain in my shin. I went on the ellipticals for 15 minutes but that is what is recommended when one has joint problems because it puts the least amount of pressure on them. And I only went on to get my heart rate up so I didn't even hit it hard. Then I did my usually weight training, but my weight training shouldn't put any amount of stress on my knees. The worst is the squats but I have done it millions of time with the weights I used and now out of the blue it's going to give me problems? I don't think so.
I don't know. Tomorrow I'm taking a break from the gym, usually when I take a break I still do cardio but my body needs a break because it's too weak. This is frustrating. I'm working out to not have any problems with my body, not to create more. I'm glad I didn't do track, then my joints would have been REALLY fucked up. |
