Just after my 10k, I posted that I had hurt my left leg/hip. Since then it doesn't seem to have improved at all. I went to CPT on Mon, Tues and Thurs of last week but after Thurs the pain was bad, I stayed off Sat, Mon and Tues.
It was starting to feel better and wasn't even a fraction as sore. I went back tonight for the first time and it was agony. As soon as we started to run I could feel it. Every time I put my foot down.... It got so bad at one point that I actually thought I was about to cry to tried to remove myself from the group a wee bit.
With placement starting a week on Monday, I absolutely can't risk not being able to walk the wards. I'm totally gutted to say this but I'm going to have give CPT a rest for a while :-(
I've never enjoyed exercise so much and I can't believe I'm going to have to give it a rest. The walking about the ward for 12.5 hours, 3 days a week will be lighter exercise and I can always go out for a walk on my days off. I'm hoping that walking about at work will help and actually start to ease the pain so I can get back into it quicker. The good thing with the shifts is that I won't be able to go as often as I was, I could be there 5 times a week some weeks and going for a run on Fridays.
Anyway, thinking positively, I might only need a week or so off from it and then I can get back. Another positive spin is that I'm genuinely upset that I have to stop going for a while :-) Before I would have been looking for excuses not to go! I've got a Wii Fit at home so although it's not the same as the CPT instructors shouting, it's all exercise......
