It was my rest day yesterday. All I did was take my dog for 2 walks. No working out, nobody dropped a plate on my foot, I didn't even stub my toe. I woke up today feeling like I broke my big toe and can't really put weight on it. I won't be doing any squats for a while and will have to modify everything else where I needed to have some weight on my toes. Girlie push-ups are in my immediate future all because in one's mid 40s it is possible to get injured sleeping somehow.

The worse part for me (mid 40s) isn't the injuries, it's the recovery. It takes for-fucking-ever to recover from anything now. I slipped on the ice a couple of years ago, bruised a rib and was essentially out of commission for 2 weeks and wasn't back to 100% for about four months.

I feel you on that one. I used to break something and just go on with life as normal, and was able to ignore to ignore the pain and still recover. Now I have to be careful like a little bitch, and tend to it, because if I'm not careful and re-injure it, it could take half a year to get back to 100%.

I slipped and landed right on my knee eariler this year. Thought I broke it for a min and got lucky. But I slip on ice a few years ago and landed flat on my back and that took several weeks to recover from. Damn dog was laughing at me. He's walking around me "problem? Sucks having just two legs, huh?"
