OWWIE!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately - I partially tore my right calf muscle working out in the deep sand about 12 days ago. Thankfully it was just before a long weekend (there goes my surf trip to Denmark!) so I had some seriously dedicated icing and relax time on the couch for 5 days. I think it's helped heaps along with my homeopathics from my Naturopath, Peter Yeates from Fremantle Natural Therapies. AWESOME!

Number one lesson I have learned is to not take my mobility for granted and to put extra effort into caring for my muscle tissue!

I have recently just ordered the Trigger Point Performance Therapy Total Body Kit to help me with mine. I'm looking forward to having my mobility back soon and getting back into the swing of things. I am trying to see the injury as a landmark in my training - my first injury of this type which means I'm becoming a better athlete I reckon. Soon I'll be an even better one as I learn how to take better care of my body.
