Training Log Archive: Bomb

another day, another doc. finally got to see the sports doc this morning, and he recons its almost definitely due to massive side affects of the roaccutane I've been on. this is despite the dermatologist telling me that it caused muscle pain, but there was no way it could be making me sick too. Apparently its reasonably common that it totally wipes out athletes, but because that's a small group of people who take it anyway it took a sports doc to actually know.
anyhow, I stopped taking it after the weekend anyhow - another of the known side affects is blisters, and after the lot I copped on the weekend I decided I'd had enough (very little unblistered skin left to walk on). So now its just a matter of how long it takes to get out of my system.

seem to have gotten worse since the weekend.
Doc seems to think its not some nasty virus, but has some crazy idea about cumulative stress and fatigue and recons my body has just crapped out on me, and that I really need to take it easy for a while. Told her I was way too busy for that - can I have a pill to fix it please?!

training at race elements. I sucked, and I really couldn't do anything hard. just did easy weights, and had lots of extra rests. still good to do something though... but I think I might need a nana nap now!
