The month of August was completely hectic for me. I set out with good intentions to blog regularly and do so much more but life just seemed to get in the way. For a start World Championship training with my team at the BCKA started and for me this happened to coincide with a steroid injection into the back of my ankle for retro-calcaneal bursitis. This instantly set my training back as I was unable to do any weight bearing exercise for a week! So while all my team mates were running, sparring and doing padwork I was sat on the floor stretching and corework and then doing some cardio on the bike when I got in. Overall I didn't cope too badly with this period but there have been moments where I felt intensely frustrated and also paranoid about injuring my ankle further.
Over August I ran a special offer within my business and saw an increase in weekly clients, which of course took up more of my time. I also filmed for a Red2Green project talking about Asperger's and my journey to success.
I also decided that for some reason I didn't have quite enough to do and that now would be the perfect time to start writing my book. So I am well into my first couple of chapters writing a book about my story and experiences which have led me to this point.
Then my instructor told me I had been nominated for a Martial Arts Illustrated Hall of Fame award! So overall August was a pretty good month, aside from the ankle problems.
