On Friday afternoon, I visited Jim with LT; before making my way down for SoS (after taking a shower and have had a change of clothes, of course!).
On Saturday night, after service, we had a CG night cycling; which ended at 7am+ this morning.
3 CONSECUTIVE days of (rather intensive) exercising.
I think my fitness is improving bit by bit. For one, my thighs are not hurting as bad as I had expected them to. I had initially thought that by the end of these 3 days, my legs would be too weary to even stand properly. Surprisingly, however, my butt hurts more; while my thighs feel alright. Tired and sore; yes, but not to the extend of horrible muscles ache and massive lactic acid buildup.
This Thursday is the first time I made a "comeback" after a 4months hiatus ever since I had LASIK in mid-February and the doctor advised against exercising (ok, the truth is, the doc only said to refrain from exercising for a minimal of 2weeks to 1month. The 4months are... Erm... My own... Erm... Initiative... Yeah).
Anyway, it has ONLY been 3 mere days since the "comeback"; and NOW I am out of action again, for 2weeks at least. Why? My bike flew over an unexpected ramp while traveling downhill and I scraped the toes against the pavement real bad. Anyway, this is another story for another day.
The good thing: I didn't lose my balance, fall off the bike, and injure the knees.
The bad thing: The toes on my right feet are in a terrible shape now.
The skin tore real badly; and I chipped half a toe nail on the fourth toe. Not a pretty sight. That particular toe now sort of looks deformed and indented. Poor thing.
Gross, I know. And utterly swollen.Even now, the toes still hurt sharply once in a while. I had a disturbed nap just now because the pain kept revisiting. Walking, even, sends jabs of pain down the poor toes.
No covered shoes for at least 2weeks, I guess! This means I can't exercise for the next 2weeks! Goodbye, treadmill! Goodbye, stationary bike! Goodbye, rowing machine! Goodbye, leg extension machine! Goodbye, leg lifts! Goodbye, evening jogs! Shucks!
P.S. Don't talk to me. My butt hurts. Throw me a cushion!

From the pic i see, it screams a big 'OUCH!!' >.< I can see that it really does hurt badly. But did u see a doc for it or u self-prescribed medicine for ur own?
Do rest up well..! Jehovah Rapah will help ya..! =)
Eat something which would help you to recover faster (which I still don't know what is it. Will go find out. Haha.)
D: Yep, it seriously hurt like anything! It was not THAT bad when I scraped it right there and then. But now, the pain seems to have "multiplied", and the swelling seems to be more and more "prosperous". Haha...
Yep, I'll see the doc if it gets worse over the next few days. =). Just bought an antiseptic cream from the pharmacy. Just dubbed the wounds clean with water and tissue, and applied the antiseptic cream right on. Not sure if that's the correct procedure anot. Think when I'm out, I'll bandage it up with dressing. Don't be too shocked if you catch me in bandages and slippers on this Thur's SOS! Haha...
I'll see you tml in bandages n slippers for the staff meeting first, before proceeding down to the church for the SOS. haha.
But like what u say, see the doc earlier is always better than not seeing it at all. =) So... remember to see doc ar..! =D
