Leg work/injury

I tore it (and by "it" I mean my quads, hammys, calves and butt) with some leg work tonight! It was SO good! Jake wanted to watch the Bruins game so I busted out my rep logging sheets from P90X and just did the legs component of the Legs & Back routine. I didn't do the back work because I've been playing catch with the hubs lately (yay for good weather and preseason baseball to get us in the spirit!) and my shoulders/back are pretty sore from that. We had an awesome time throwing a baseball around so I figure that's a good workout. Back to legs- I dug deep and pushed myself tonight! It was hard to workout without the DVD. I'm a competitive person so I do well working out along to a DVD because I push myself to keep up with everyone in the DVD. I try to do just as well as they do and that always leads me to push harder than I typically would on my own. I brought it tonight, though! I used good old dedication to push myself. And it worked! My legs were on fire! It burnt so good.

However, one minor problem... I hurt my big toe on my left foot. I don't know how but it's been hurting for a couple days now. At first it just felt tender when I would walk... today it hurt just to be in my shoes or bend my toe... Now, after working out on it, it hurts just to stand up. No good! I don't think it's broken because it isn't super swollen or funny colors. Something definitely isn't right, though. I'm trying to avoid going to the doctors because I hatehatehate co-pays. Ha. Jake looked into toe/foot injuries and we think I have "turf toe", which is an injury to the ligaments. Apparently I should stay off of it for three weeks but that basically is not an option for me. I can't stay off my foot for that long! I'm going to try and rest it a little and hope it heals up. If it doesn't get better in a few weeks I'll suck it up and go see a doctor. I guess we'll see what happens in the next few weeks. Hopefully it will stop hurting because it's pretty bad.

I'm taking a rest day tomorrow to travel home for the weekend *insert big grin here*. My brother told me that I must try a P90X2 workout while I'm home so that might happen on Saturday. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little scared of the P90X2 workouts!! They're RIDICULOUS. Beyond ridiculous. It's crazy. I watched my brothers do a couple of them last time I was home and I was astounded at how crazy they are. I know there are some moves that my brothers can't even do, which confounds me. They're both much stronger than I am so I don't know how much of a chance I have at getting through this!! I was going to get P90X2 for myself but I'm not sure I'm ready for it yet. P90X still challenged me so I'm going to stick with that for now. I'll update on how my P90X2 workout goes if I go through with it. For now, it's bed and a day off tomorrow! :]
