Road To Recovery

Recovering from an injury is never an easy thing to accomplish especially with a type A personality. I always want to go go go and put injuries to the side. Well this time it was a no go. Ever since I got back from Iraq, I've been plagued with injuries left and right. First it was the dirt in my lungs which I still have. Then I put two stress fractures in my right foot from the Wasatch Steeplechase. Then I tweeked my back and got some serious tendinitis in my right elbow. So far i've heeled and mended all my injuries except for the elbow tendinitis. The good news for me is that I've been able to finish wods again with minor irritations. I'll keep doing my thing and pushing myself till the point and back off and just keep all my training around the 85% mark which is really hard.
