A Stupid Thing

I did something pretty stupid and now I'm paying for it. I belong to a September challenge on Facebook through a Beach Body coach (you get assigned one when you register online after purchasing a Beach Body program) and you earn points with every workout, motivational quote, sweaty pic or muscle shot you post. The idea is to win by accumulating the most points with your assigned partner. Well, I did as much as I could and I was dedicated, even rising to the challenge of doing 100 push-ups in one day (I did every one OFF my knees).

I wanted to pick up Insanity again, to join in with everyone else doing it. I should never have attempted it, especially only 9 days before my half marathon. On Thursday, I got out Plyometric Cardio and got to it, huffing and puffing my way through all of those suicides, level 1 drills and ski jumps. It's amazing how much strength I've lost not doing it. I took a lot of breaks and drank a lot of water.

 

That's everyone stretching behind me.
 

And now I can hardly walk! I thought I took it easy, but apparently I broke my ass. I am supposed to be running 11 miles to be fully prepared for my half marathon in only 7 1/2 DAYS, but I can't do it. So today I'm resting. I already took a hot bath with Epsom salts and I think it helped a bit. I'm planning on getting it done tomorrow morning. I just want to kick myself! If that were physically possible I STILL wouldn't be able to do it because I'm so sore!
