Out of Sorts

Last Saturday I played a round of disc golf in DeBary.  My right foot still aches a bit from when I played in Charlotte over Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if it is tendonitis, or a slight sprain, or just aching bones.  It was so cold in Charlotte, I believe that may have had something to do with it since I didn't really have much time to warm up before beginning to play.

But the really surprising thing was both last Saturday and the one before that, I played really lousy!  I was so disappointed that all the weight training I'm doing has translated back into throwing farther.

Now, I must admit that I FELT stronger even if I didn't throw better.  It seemed to take me a good 10 holes just to feel like I was in some sort of groove with my throws.  Am I tired?  Lacking practice?  Forgetting basic form?  Unable to move like a used to  6 weeks ago?

The truth is, probably all of the above is correct.  I wish I was able to throw a bit every day, but I just can't do that right now.  And with the holiday season upon us, it seems as though I have no time on the weekends either to play a couple rounds of disc golf.  I'm lucky to get one in.

My foot is another situation altogether.  I can't really put extended pressure on the foot as I'd have to during a long walk.  It seems that I've been trying to redistribute my weight on my foot which has now made other parts of the foot ache.  Most cardio involves pressure on the foot, so I'm a bit stuck right now.

I'm still going to train, lift weights, and will resume longer walks when my foot feels better.  But for right now, I'm just out of sorts when it comes to the training.
