Sad...

I think that Saturday's 10-mile run, while fabulous, has slightly strained my left Achilles tendon. I took Sunday and yesterday off, hoping it would be OK today. I tried running this morning, but no dice. I'm going to take off until Saturday. I HATE not running! Religious/spiritual people, please pray for a quick recovery! I don't want to be off my training plan for too long.

The new eating plan is going well so far. I certainly don't feel deprived. I still can't manage to eat all the vegetables, but I'm doing well with the fruit part. I have dinner out tonight, so I'll eat normally (OK--it's a really really nice restaurant, so I'll be eating decadently) and pick my eating plan up again in the morning.

I did the dreaded strength training last night (figured I might as well since I couldn't run), and it went pretty well. I'm very slightly sore today, but nothing extreme. I've got Pilates this afternoon at 5pm, so I'll need to ask my trainer to go easy on the calf/ankle stuff until I've healed.

Hope you have a great day!

Rest and recover

I will be praying for a fast recovery.  I hope you're not in too much pain.  Sometimes we just have to let our bodies rest.  Enjoy dinner tonight.  We DO have to enjoy life, afterall.  It's all about finding that balance.  I think we are all inching closer and closer to finding that balance!

Frustrating

I know - trust me.  This damn hip started acting up again last night.  I don't want to risk more injury, so I'm going to kick up my training next week.  I do my T-Tapp every other day for now.  I got so used to working out 6 days a week, that I feel incredibly LAZY.

Have a great day!

Heat

Have you tried a heating pad?  I don't know if that would work for your injury, but it did wonders for my thigh muscle.  I hope you heal quickly.  That's a bummer.  :(
