Yeah,... I was kind of "out of commission" today, meaning I was recovering from a head injury.
Not too sure if it was from one too many hits at sparring or a few too hard tackles I had last night, but the mix of them meant my head has been hurting. The sparring, yeah, it definitely was a factor at play, I know it. I would have gone 8 rounds with Coach Marcelo instead of just 6 but I knew we hadn't been holding back with the hard hits like we usually do so I called it after 6. We both walked away from that sparring session with our brain a little rattled. As for rugby, I'm surprised I didn't scrape off a few layers of my face during this one particular tackle with one of the male rugby players from the other team. I went right into his shoulder and my face felt like it was being rubbed with sandpaper as oppose to just his shirt. I took this one particular tackle that cracked my neck, I heard it, and even the girl that I was tackling apologised to me. It was just a practice drill but we had tackled a bit too hard.
I had four clients to coach today and my boxing to get in after the first two clients.
I coached the first 2 and then called it a day.
My third client actually asked to make a last minute rescheduling so I ended up rescheduling also the last client and going home to take a nap.
I don't do medicine and I hate visiting the doctor.
"Nothing a little extra sleep and TLC can't solve", replied in my head. Something my mom once said. Ironically enough though, my mom was notorious for popping Tylenal for her continual migraines and back problems. She never gave me them though and, consequently enough, I can't even remember the last time I took some kind of pain relief. Perhaps it was back when I broke my nose. The last time I broke my nose that is. I think that was about 6 years ago.
No boxing for me today and no weight training.
I caught up on computer work, well as much as I could, and then took one long nap to rest and recover my head.
