Another tough day today. The past couple of days have been a real test. It seems that yesterday's yoga aggravated an old ankle injury I suffered over 10 years ago while playing racquetball. I woke up this morning limping badly and barely able to walk. I made an effort to do my daily run/walk on the beach, but had to cut that short because of the pain. On the way home, I decided I had to train around the "injury" and thought to settle for a few sets of arm curls and call it a day. I decided against this for fear that it would derail my efforts. I chose to find a way to confront the pain and strive to do my best. I'm glad to say I did this. What would have been a half-a*sed workout, turn out to be a pretty good one. I rated the workout's intensity a '7' because I only managed to do half the scheduled workout because the pain was too intense. It seems, too, that this may have been good for my ankle, as I found I was able to walk around with less pain after training.
