Injury: The true victim!

Most people I know will tell you I'm annoying most the time! But I've learnt this week when I'm injured I'm 10 times worse!

Frustrated, restless, winey are the best ways to describe me since midweek after a recurring trapped nerve in my neck flared up!

Part of the problem is its not an injury that stops me completely, it's just painful. So I have the dilemma of... Should I train through the pain, or should I rest. Then if I do rest I'm constantly thinking "I should be training, I feel ok."

Added to these thoughts is the tiredness and the fact that I cant sit still anymore! Makes for one arsey person! Ha ha!

So I'm dedicating this post to all the people who have to put up with the moaning, fidgeting athlete while they can't train!

I have also realised that the people around you are much more logical about it all, reminding it's November and doesn't really matter at this time of the year!

God knows what I would be like if I had a proper injury!!

Heal strong and relax all you injured triathletes out there! Friends as family will be grateful!

Update: My injury has cleared up, so i will be back to moaning about being tired and having no spare time... sorry i guess you can't win! :-)
