Walking plans on hold

Chishmish50

The last two days I’ve been doing 5k walks before dinner but today after the walk I smashed my leg on my bed and now have a big bruise all down my right calf hurts like hell so we will see how it feels tomorrow but my guess is I’ll miss my walk

Sounds painful. You might miss it or do a smaller version of it. Keep your chin up but not so high you can't see the bed as you pass by.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that happened. I agree to start slow as it heals. It is good practice for not getting too anxious when you have to miss workouts. The urge to derail can be strong but know that missing one can happen and that doesn't mean you've derailed.

Ice it and elevate it.

Cheers guys trying to stay motivated and planning to get back into my 5k’s as soon as it’s all better

Ouchie! Give yourself time to heal and then work back up to it. If it feels better, do a little walk; if not, rest.

Ice it today. You likely should be able to walk tomorrow.

RICE, darling, RICE.

Better to miss a few workouts now than to risk a worse injury. Take the time you need to heal.
