So, last night, I had my softball game. It was the playoffs. We lost the first one, so we played a double header for 5th place. Lost that game, so we came in dead last. Now, THAT does not bother me.
The shortstop threw a low stinger at me (I play first), and it bounced on the HARD infield ground RIGHT INTO my lower leg. Thankfully, it didn't hit directly on my shin, it would've broke it probably, but it hit the side into the shin. Lemme put it this way, EVERYONE said they could hear the WHUMP noise it made. OUCH!!! That didn't bother me either.
What BOTHERS me is the fact that I totally was planning on running tonight. BUT, I can't. I mean, I could, but most likely, it'd just aggravate the 5inx3in bump and bruise I have...and make it worse. Besides, walking on it hurts. I think it's the muscle surrounding the bone that is sore.
I'm all bummed. I mean. I have 14 weeks left. I'm having an outpatient surgury in late August that'll put me out of commission for 2 weeks (no exercise). So, that means, I need this leg to heal by Monday (possibly), so I'll have 5 weeks to start running, have surgury, then out for two weeks, and then have 5 more weeks again to get to that 5k. Honestly, I'm thinking I'll wait for registration until the first 5 weeks are up.
10 weeks with a 2 week break? They say, as much time as you take off from running, it takes double the time to get back up to speed.
AUGH! I don't think I'll be making my Oct 19th deadline.
I'm bummed. But maybe this is incentive for me to work HARDER before my surgury and work hard AFTER it.
Just in a bleah mood today.

Cheryl-- your poor thing! Ice it down-- take care of it and when it's all healed THEN start about getting out there to prepare for the 5K. I know you know to not overdo and go into training when you're not at your best-- but I'll just repeat it so you hear it once more ;-)
