A Little Flash of Color to My Black & White Gym Uniform

Sometimes you’re doing your warmup in the Wednesday night class and then you move on to the next planned exercise. But sometimes it doesn’t go as planned. Sometimes a muscle will scream “ENOUGH!” And it stops you in your tracks. That happened this past Wednesday evening.

Fortunately, there were other coaches to cover for my absence during the rest of the class. Thankfully, athletes and coaches all prayed for healing for my right calf (and for my ability to drive the 35ish miles home). Before leaving I called the chiropractic doctor who helped me when I had psoas syndrome the previous year. Blessedly, I was able to get an appointment for 11 o’clock the next morning.

With the 100-Day Challenge well-underway, I was nervous about my morning mobility routine. What if I can’t do it? What then? Would I scrap the whole thing? Would I continue with two of three challenges? Would I adapt and keep going? Would I attempt to force myself through it and grit my teeth?

The next morning, fully believing I would be unable to complete it, I decided to give it a try. As it turned out, I was incredibly wrong. I was able to complete my little mobility routine!

The Thursday morning appointment with Dr. H went very well. Treatment was helpful. Adjustments were helpful. His insight and advice were helpful.

As you can see from the calf sleeve pictured, I have followed the doctor’s advice and am well on my way to recovery.

Also, I kinda like that flash of color!

Remember to stay:
