Week Twenty: Aches and Pains

It's not been a great training week. Adrith copes with leg and back problems.

"What's bugging me is why does my back hurt? Is it still after hauling monitors and CPUs on Sunday? If that's the case, then why wasn't it uncomfortable for my 3.5-miler on Monday? Or is it the resulting lack of exercise between Monday and today? I don't know. I'm so confused. " ~Adrith

Cat has her own injuries after falling and pulling part of her toenail off.

"All seems normal, toe inspection reveals nothing more shocking than traces of a bruise and a red line across the place in the quick that marks where the nail had gotten partially lifted. I don't dare move it because it grosses me out so I can't say if it's stuck back on or if it's still lifting or what.

Asking Paul is no good -- he just tells me I am lucky it's not so bad I have to have my toenail drilled. It's this horrible story about his brother's toenail that got banged up badly and a big black bruise was under the nail and their Dad decided to drill a hole in the nail to let the blood flow to prevent toenail loss. I certainly wouldn't let my Dad drill a hole in my toenail. What if he went too far?!" ~Cat

At least the injuries weren't horrible -- some R & R ought to heal things up.
