If we're already Facebook friends, you already know this, but I totally ate it at boot camp last night. During the second drill of the night, I jumped up from a half-situp position and started sprinting across the room and then all of a sudden, my world went grey and I went crashing down on my elbow and knee. I'm fine, just bruised and swollen and sore, but pretty pissed that I didn't get to finish my workout. And would really like to know if my blood pressure went too low or I have an ear issue or what.
I think I drank enough yesterday and it was pretty early in the workout that this happened. I had a good lunch. The only thing I did different was I was still pretty full from lunch (chicken and bean tacos) so I didn't have an afternoon snack - usually have a small protein bar - but I didn't have any other signs of low blood sugar or anything.
Even though the whole thing sucked, it's way better to have a sports injury rather than third degree mouth burns from eating the middle of a hot pocket too quickly after removing it from the microwave while sitting on the couch...this was a much more likely injury for me to sustain a couple of years ago. :-) So for now, I will wear my bruises with pride and go back and try again next week.

Poor girl, hope you feel better soon!
That sucks! Put there is nothing like bruises from exercise! Wear those battle wounds with pride! Go girl!
Battle scars! Although I did have to chuckle at the Hot Pocket injury :)
Hope the bruises/badges of honor heal up quick and you're right back in boot camp soon!
Hope you feel better soon!
Bruises are my favorite kind of badges of honor!

"I got this bruise from boot camp"..... It rolls so nicely off the tongue :o)
Feel better soon,and yes, that is a much better injury than the mouth burning :o)
That stinks! Hope you feel better soon!
At least that's a good way to look at it!
