Ouch! That hurts!

Occasionally, during our intense training, we get an injury and have to take a step back, but how? We work hard, we train hard, then, an injury. We sure don't want to loose any ground but we can't train the way we were, what to do? Last night I took a Chuck Norris sized kick to the side of my left upper ribs and can hardly breath, maybe cracked a rib, maybe just hurt them, don't know, don't care, all I know is that it hurts. These things happen when you train with intensity, so what now. Today, I am going to do an abbreviated workout of yoga, will work up a sweat, will work out my chest and will play it by ear. Friday, I will go on a short bike ride, maybe longer depending on how my breathing goes, Saturday I will do Martial Arts forms and stretching and some Kayaking and hopefully, by Sunday all will be well and I can focus. Time will tell, just don't give up!
