Beating Back the Beast - one week two days.

The beast bit back a little today, probably not as harshly as I thought it would but bite it did. The connective tissue around my sacrum and my hips, knees, shoulders and elbows has been inflamed and painful all day. Not much sleep for the tossing and turning and a slow start into the day. A good reason to get stuck into some book work.

Monday is training night so I rocked up to class wondering just how things would go. Decided we would have an ab and ground technique night. Some of my joints screamed but I managed to push through. Surprisingly it was my left shoulder that threw the biggest hissy fit and yet it had not shown many signs of a struggle throughout the day.

All in all a successful day, I find it is easier to push the core workouts on days when my energy levels are low and the body is sore. Running today would have been impossible but there are ways around the beast.

Before I leave tonight I want to ask everyone to keep my friend Toni in their thoughts. She was the wonderful owner of one of my dogs from my last Irish Wolfhound  litter, Murphy Brown. He passed away suddenly today and his lost is felt keenly by those who knew his beautiful loving nature. Godspeed Murphy!
