So the hernia thing is feeling a bit better today, and I'm not quite yet feeling the irresistible urge to run through pain. However, I am surprised by how much this unplanned break has impacted my psyche. I feel like I'm becoming Merrill and OH MY GOD my world will crumble if I don't work out soon! WTF is wrong with me?
I've had to take breaks like this before, but I think there's more of a sense of dread with this one in that I don't know which movements and which WODs might make this worse, so I don't know how I will be able to continue. Maybe it's more of a question of control - I actually can't do a WOD or a run - than a choice not to work out because I'm tired or sore.
Interestingly, if I didn't have this far-off goal because of this contest/blog, I probably would've worked out yesterday to see what I could get away with. Basically, I would just Crossfit until surgery. But because I hope to run again this year, I'm left waiting and wondering. (Until I do the run/deadlift WOD tomorrow).
And Merrill, if you thought my "science of CFE" posts were boring, you don't even want to get me started on my food science. But I will say, creatine will be making it back into the mix when I'm back at it.
