Ouch

I have nothing exciting to say on this post, but rather am here to throw a pity party for myself and ask for prayer at the same time.

I either have pulled or have slightly torn my quadricp this morning while doing sprints about about 5:50am. I'm thirty two and think I'm 21 still... apparently. I worked my legs very hard yesterday, and decided that doing sprints before 6am would be a good way to start my day. I didn't warm up, didn't stretch, should have not done this twelve hours after working my legs, and should have taken my age into consideration as I am 32 now. I still feel like I'm 21, but my quad is telling me different today.

I would have continued with the tear if I had been able to as my trainee is 24 and he was fine, but then again he didn't work legs with me yesterday. What a blow it was to my ego to watch him continue with the sprints as I sat on the curb and pushed him on, acting as if my pride did not take a hook punch with Mike Tyson strength.

Next time I will not do this after leg day, nor will I do it before six am.. I will also warm up and I will not only do my sprints with this 24 year old, but I will beat him badly.

Yes, I am too competitive... way too competitive. At least I'm honest..

Please pray for healing in my quad. I've got one week to be ready. :-) It's just not going to look good if I'm still down a week from now..
