So I went to the doctor today, and the first reaction he had was "What the hell did you do to your legs?"<br />
<br />
So after explaining what had happened, and reciting my parkour pitch (still need to work on the wording: I still get the worried glance) he examined it and had me sent down to x-ray just in case. Gladly, no fracture or bone scrape; the tibia and fibula are strong bones. I really just need to take it easy until it heals completely.<br />
<br />
But bloody hell, it still hurts to walk. >:(

Yeah, so I'm experiencing that whole sore-all-over-my-body thing going on. I had this to a lesser degree during my first meet-up with some of the South Bay'ers the previous weekend, and to a much greater extent this weekend. The thing that worries me isn't that I'm injuring myself so much as the feeling that I shouldn't work out or run much until I'm recovered, leading to a slow and somewhat painful conditioning routine week in and week out. I'm worried that I'm not conditioning progressively…
Yeah, so I'm experiencing that whole sore-all-over-my-body thing going on. I had this to a lesser degree during my first meet-up with some of the South Bay'ers the previous weekend, and to a much greater extent this weekend. The thing that worries me isn't that I'm injuring myself so much as the feeling that I shouldn't work out or run much until I'm recovered, leading to a slow and somewhat painful conditioning routine week in and week out. I'm worried that I'm not conditioning progressively so much as doing too much too soon. But if the routine turns into 'train, wait a week, then train', I'll just be repeating this loop.<br />
<br />
So what I ask is this: if I'm waking up the mornings after a group meet very sore, am I pushing myself too far? And if I'm sore, is it safe or healthy to continue work outs like push-ups, squats, or jogging? Or should I rest until it's diminished greatly?
