I actually didn’t make it to the workout today because I injured my knee. 😣
I woke up and got to the gym early. Enjoyed warm ups and got ready for the Pre-WOD: Long jumps. I did some practice hops and jumps. Then it was time to jump for scored distance. My first jump I made 38". My second jump 39". My third jump 40".
Maybe it’s because I was 20 inches less than everyone else. Maybe it’s because I was really enjoying jumping. Maybe it’s because I’m stupid. But anyway I decided to do one more jump with all the force I could muster and what do you know, on the fourth landing something popped in my knee and now there’s just soreness and sadness.
Although I was looking forward to the WOD I ended up having to sit out. I worked on just walking across the room and rolling my knee with a foam roller. My self diagnosis is a sprained MCL (the inside ligament of the knee). I’m going to just try the R.I.C.E. method and hope it improves over the weekend.
Right now the pains not too bad. I’m a pretty big weenie and I haven’t even cried about it. I’ve actually wanted to cry more from low self esteem than anything. I just feel like I’ve somehow failed and it’s eating me up inside.
