Day 21 taking a knock

One of the few downsides to having a routine of exercise which you can come to heavily rely on, is picking up an injury. Football is a contact sport, yet today I was under no physical pressure but I managed to twist my ankle! It was a strange sensation, I felt the back of my leg lose support as I turned. At first it hurt, then I had pins and needles and ever since I have the feeling of a strain in my leg. I was initially worried that it could be the dreaded achilles tendon but even if it is, its nothing more than a strain. Certainly, the achilles can be a tough one to recover from but I'll be ok.

I broke through the pain barrrier and managed my 1000 jumps. I was glad to see there was nothing else to do today, I couldn't have done lunges or squats with my ankle, yet strangely I almost missed not having the full workout to do, the evening seemed...unfinished.

I'm looking forward to another week of PCP-ing, I'll have my pics up by tomorrow and keep it going team whatever we're calling it!

  3. Hi Jack,

    Hope the ankle gets better soon. I see that protein has crept into the breakfast list.. anyone got any tips for early-morning-palatable protein foods apart from eggs?
