Perhaps a Little Over Zealous...

I quit hitting the gym in late October and focused on healing the foot/ankle while knocking out my remaining 2012 races.  I stopped running with the exception of my races at the same time.  After Miami, I took some time off entirely to heal.  I'd intended on going back to lifting for upper body and doing some swimming and elliptical to maintain cardio while the foot healed.  The fall/injured wrist squashed that.  So, last week I realized I felt horrid and NEEDED to work out, but didn't want to further injure the foot.  I decided to get my lifting sessions in and just be careful that leg day did not do anything to injure the foot.  Well, the week got crazy and before I knew it Thursday rolled around and I hadn't hit the gym at all.  Thursday evening I headed for my gym and knocked out a killer back, bi, and shoulder session followed by a double abs session.  It felt great to be back and I was surprised at how well the wrist held up.  I'd lifted lighter than I previously would but still heavier than I thought the wrist would allow and I was ok.  I intended on getting in my leg session on Friday...that didn't happen.  So, Saturday, determined to make sure I hit all of my workouts for the week, I headed down to the gym and tackled a killer leg workouts.  As with Thursday, I lifted lighter than I usually would, but it'd been so long I knew I would feel it.  My abs were still hurting from Thursday, but I knocked out what would have been Friday's ab session anyway.  Nearly spent but determined to get in my chest and tri session, I headed upstairs and sucked down a GU, then went back to power through the rest of my workout.  I finished feeling great and headed upstairs to shower.  I knew I was in trouble when my arms wouldn't lift high enough to wash my hair without a great deal of effort.  I'm typically a person that DMOS doesn't set in until Day 2 after a workout...this was minutes after the workout!  Sunday morning everything was tight...today...well, let's just say I shouldn't sit still for long, I will be stretching a lot this evening, and I'm not so sure how I'm going to get in tonight's back, bi, shoulders, and ab session - but I will do it!  Perhaps I won't be quite so over zealous with this workout though....not that I'm complaining!
