Injuries...
most of us will sustain some form of injury throughout our athletic career or our attempts to be more active.
coming from a more sedentary lifestyle or even from a different sport, you would often find yourself needing some form of physical adaptation as you try out a new sport or even moving into another of fitness and activity.
it is important to be prudent (like all good accountants!) and at the same time be adventurous (like all good entrepreneur) to try out new methods of training, strengthening, diet and even recovery.
I have moved into a new age group for racing and will be moving into another age group in 2 years time.
it is not surprising that I will be some injury or needing some fine tuning or healing once a while...
injury sustained from pushing my body without due care for the last 20 years or less (if I take my Chinese martial art career into consideration, playing badminton in school and triathlon later in my life)
injury from being impatience with mileage, from reduced rest, ignoring little pain and tingle and simply thinking that I can recover like when I am 20.
in order to walk the talk and do what I preach with my tight ITB and rounded shoulders...
I am cutting back in mileage, seeing doctor, visiting therapist, stretching on the same frequencies as my meals (that is a quite a lot since I like to eat abt 6 times a day...), taking medication and starting a pilates program.
and praying and working towards racing for the next 30 years or so like my friends in the 60+ 70+ age group for ironman.
