waiting for the lights to change

It’s been two weeks since I first got pains in my leg. Two weeks since I did any kind of exercise.

Enosan described the injury as “subarashi timing”, coming right at the end of the racing season. No upcoming races to train for. Mostly bad weather outside. Stopping the active lifestyle has not been too difficult.

I feel better by the day. Sometimes I think I could start training again. But a dash to the phone, or jumping into the car from the rain, reminds me that I’m still not 100%.

The next step is to see a specialist sports doctor. Not just to get the green light. I want to talk about how to ease back into it. Steps I can take to avoid another injury. The worst thing would be to come back too soon, or too hard, and end up back where I started two weeks ago – stuck at another red light…
