Dealing with downtime

Flowers · Jan-06-07, 06:14 PM

So I injured my ankle. Unsure of how badly, or how long I will be out. Most likely a month should be it. I've found I can't watch a sampler without desperately wanting to go out and work on tricks. I've been skipping my gym sessions. How did everyone else who has been injured deal with their downtime?

you just gotta wait it out. try doing something else for a while. conditioning gives you a hell of an advantage for when you return.

hahaha, I think I'm going to work on handstands and flexibility shit for awhile. Altho the weed and alcohol does sound appealing.

Hopefully you'll be injured permenantely somehow.

I've been sick as a sick person all week. I've painted my room, made an ottoman and looked at every spring/summer 2007 collection on style.com.
Its a nice change from being all active.

I'm really growing tired of that disgusting stripper in your avatar Regan.

Not that my opinion matters since I can do anything about it, but I had to say it!

P.S. Please change it.
