So.....on Monday, I took this class called Core Kettlebell Kick. There was this one move we did where he told us not to pivot our foot. While I was doing it, I didn't feel good about it but completed it anyway, matching my form to his. On Tuesday, the top of my foot felt a little tender. Yesterday, it really started to hurt. Last night, I ran on it and then iced and Ibuprofened afterward. It felt just fine WHILE running but this morning, I can barely walk. It feels like a pulled tendon so I am going to put my feet up as much as possible today and ice when I can. Of course, I have a billion kids coming today so this is going to be rough:(
Tonight, I am going to a viewing for the dad of one of my best friends. Of course, it's going to be a rest day.
Gotta jet so I can get Em ready for the bus. I just stuck my ice pack from last night back in the freezer so as soon as it's cold enough, I am icing.
I am so sorry about the foot, Maria. I guess if there's any good thing about this, you know it's not a running related strain. Hopefully with rest & ice it will be fine in a few days. I'm sorry about your friends dad! I'm getting ready for work and thinking about the million things I have to do in the next 1.5 days. I am just in disbelief that it's here. It seemed so far away. I'm an emotional basketcase and just need to chill. Hope everyone has a good day!
I ran my 10 miles after I got home yesterday and I have 5 to do today. I think I'll get the boys from the bus, get groceries, have then do homework, then run, then dinner. This is a high mileage week! I can't believe the marathon is next month already . That's crazy! Hunter has done well going back to school this week but he was pretty tired last night and was still sleeping when I left today. Well students will be here soon, gotta go!
Good morning! Maria, sorry about your foot. That's gotta be frustrating. ((Karen)), hang in there! this is going to be awesome!
I'm taking an unscheduled rest day. Somehow yesterday I got a bruise on top of my foot, close to my ankle. It hurt really bad last night. I iced it some then, and this morning it does feel better but I decided that a 5 mile run this morning would not make it feel better! Plus, I'll be honest, I think I needed a little bit of a mental break this week anyway. Other than that, not too much else going on! work and band practice and finishing laundry.
I did not get up to run this morning. I had a bad night. I was not sleeping, and I was stressing about how tired I would be today if I didn't sleep soon - that whole thing. These last few weeks have been hard. It is weird because I am making progress. After our first conversation, I feel like I have been making progress with the counselor, but I feel like I am being challenged all the time by "stuff" too, like someone saying they are going to eat better and then ending up at a party with endless junk food all around them. I am working on the negativity and accepting my situation (not being able to drive) and stuff keeps happening to challenge my progress.
Well, that's enough of that. I have physics at 9:00. I expect we will have a quiz. He seems to want to pack material into the last few classes.
I will go to the rec since I didn't run and lift, probably warm up on Octane, my fav eliptical, then I have GOTR.
Have a good day everyone.
Maria - I hope your foot feels better soon
Karen - Not sure what to say, I am excited for you, but I would absolutely be a basket case. I hope it's a great experience for you.
Jen - glad Hunter is feeling better; I hope he can get some rest this weekend and be back to normal soon
Good morning! It's a rest day here. Ryan and I are going to hit the library this morning, and I am helping in Hunter's classroom this afternoon. Baseball practice for Hunter after dinner.
Maria, sorry your foot hurts!!!
Karen, deep breaths!!! Make lists. That always helps me feel in control. :)
Jen, we're so close!!!! I can't believe it.
Amanda, sorry your foot is hurting. I know what you mean about a mental break. It's nice to step back and not feel pressured to run when you really don't feel like it!
Lorie, sorry you didn't sleep well last night. (((hugs))))
Hey running ladies! Kind of a bad day here. My brother and sil arrived last night from California for the wedding this weekend and we were supposed to go into NYC today but patrick is home again in too much pain. So Kelly took them in. I'm so sorry for patrick; he feels really badly about this all. It's just a crummy set of circumstances. My other brother and my mom arrive today. Please pray for patrick, we need to make it thru this weekend! And my prayers are for all of you injured/hurting runners. It's such a tough place to be. LORIE, reading your post i was reminded of the movie Evan Almighty when [in a diner when she is eating frech fries] God tells Evan's wife that if you prayed for a devoted family, He would give you opportunities to work on being a devoted family. Hang in there everyone!! Love, mo
