Ouch

Well, in all my glory, I managed to fall off my stationary bike in January. Yes, it's true. When I first started cardio training I borrowed my cousins wind trainer and set my road bike up in my living room. I was wearing my clips (shoes that clip in) and the bike started to tip, I couldn't get my shoe unclipped and down I went. Pretty embarrassing but it did happen in the privacy of my own living room. THANK GOODNESS!

Unfortunately, I got hurt. I hurt my foot and it took a few weeks to heal. I didn't really tell too many people, for obvious reasons.

Now that I've been increasing my hikes, that pain has been coming back too. So like all good athletes with an important upcoming goal...I ignored it.

Well, it got too painful so today I went to a sports physiotherapist. She told me I likely broke a bone in my foot or badly sprained it. Great. She worked on it for a bit then when I asked if I could still hike - she said YES! There's nothing that can be done for it. It's healed (mostly) but there is some scare tissue that's built up around it (or something, I stopped listening after she said yes) and I just need to go in weekly for some therapy.

So, off I go, to hike some more and make a weekly tlc apt for my poor foot.

Thankfully it wasn't too serious. Perhaps next time I'll go in earlier...(not making any promises though...)
