I injured my Achilles a while ago (over 6 months). I continued to run, do sprints, jump rope, spar, etc. It didn’t hurt much while I was active on it, but it caused me to hobble while walking, and it throbbed throughout the day and night. I just accepted the pain and hoped it wouldn’t get worse. I finally used better judgement this past week. What motivated me was the upcoming annual Las Vegas Masters tournament. It is taking place in late February, and since I was staying in shape, and would have plenty of time for a full training camp, I became inspired for it. However, knowing the extra boost I would put myself through during training camp forced me to have my Achilles checked to find out if it was just a nagging pain I could continue to put up with, or if something more severe was happening. I had an MRI and it showed I have a 50% tear. My doc instructed me to wear my walking boot full time for the next 2 months. He warned me of the potential for it to “snap”, which would result in surgery, having to use a scooter, rehab, and a lot longer lay off. So, the boot is now part of my regular wardrobe. No running, jumping, sparring. I will have to develop a different routine to stay active. I don’t do much weight training, so I can do that (getting stronger and having more muscles to show off doesn’t sound that bad 😁). I definitely want to keep doing ab work, core, and stretching. I’ll try to shadow box and do bag work, but not sure how well that will go wearing the boot and not standing on even ground. My main concern is not running because that is how I maintain my cardio. As a former long distance runner, I’ve had my share of foot injuries that have put me on the shelf for a couple months, and I’ve come back from them well, but it still sucks to be injured and out of the routine, and worried that you will lose something when you start again. Well, for those of you who read this, thanks for being a sounding board for me. I’ll wear the boot, develop a different routine to help keep my body & mind strong, and hope to still make it into Fight Capital to stay connected to the community. It will be tough to be there and not do all the boxing activities, but it will also be nice to not get punched in the face either 🥴🥊

I wrote this poem the other day at the gym. Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Sunday everyone! Sunday’s are my favorite days to relax and truly focus on self improvement through reading, meditation, prayer and goal setting. Nothing wrong with sleep and relaxation to recharge your mind and body as well. How do you get down on Sunday?
