Mission 2, Day 25: Off track
Today got off on the wrong foot—literally. I wasn't able to really walk when I woke up for my morning cardio, so I had to completely skip it. I hate the idea of missing a workout, but if I had done any kind of cardio my foot would be 3 times the size it is now.
The inflammation has increased steadily. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to have it looked at.
There wasn't much else going on today so this is going to be a short post.

Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING!
Michael, am so worried about your foot...what a bummer to come up now just when you are going so gung-ho. Only thing to do is wait and get it well, then begin again. Don´t fret about it...just take it as it is. Life will be even sweeter when things are OK again.

Hey Mike! Don't sweat about it too much. You have to take these "bumps in the road" as they come. Hope it gets better quickly though.

Hey thanks for that informative comment on my blog. I did not do my strength training yesterday but am glad I did not after reading that because, at least in my upper body, I think that may be the problem. I have been doing upper body workouts at least twice a week as well as pushups 3x a week and Jujitsu 2x a week which involves more pushups and other upper body things. I've never had to deal with such a thing - I guess I've never been consistent enough to worry about it. So now my question is - does one extra rest day cut it or do I need to do something else? Thanks for any help you have on this issue. Also, looking forward to more info on the masterminding...keep me posted. And sorry to hear that you are hurting - hope you can get back to it soon - I know it is killing you to have to skip a workout!

Darn - so sorry to hear about your foot. Hopefully the doc can help! Better not to aggravate it with cardio. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
