Pull My Finger

I am taking a "break" from the vitamins today to show you a new kind of "break". While playing prison rules frisbee yesterday I managed to break myself once again. Yes, it is broken and yes I am bummed. I am bummed for two reasons. Reason number one is that we still have two more weeks of prison rules frisbee left and then we are done until the fall. I will miss those two weeks. Ugh!!! Reason number two is that this is my shifter finger for my bike and I really need this finger to work so I can continue to ride my bike. I guess I will have to either not shift or use another finger or fingers to shift. I am still a rookie on the bike and these kinds of complications are cause for more wrecks which could lead to more breaks.

On a positive note I know that this will heal and it will be ready for more prison rules Frisbee in the fall. Also, every time I get injured it causes me to have to learn how to keep training around that injury. This my peeps makes me able to train you around your injuries. You see where I am going with this! It is all about you peeps all about you. I am sweet like that you know.

Below is a short list of how I can continue to train with this minor set back:

  1. I can still run outside with the rabbit Deana and Runner Susan or gassers or shuttles or sprints with the Devil.
  2. I can still do push-ups.
  3. I can still do ab and core work.
  4. I can still lift upper body weights just maybe a little lighter on my right hand side.
  5. I can do the leg press machine and the jam n squat machine with the Devil.
  6. I can still work with resistance bands, dumbbells, and body weight only resistance.
  7. I can lunge, squat and hold planks till the cows come home.
  8. I can always use a smaller splint to hold my finger in place while I ride my bike.
  9. I have already purchased such splint and will try it out tomorrow. See I am on it peeps.
It looks to me like I can still train just as hard just with a broken finger! Cool!

Show up and make it count!
