Totally screwed up now
Ok, its been almost a week. Here’s what happened.
I got sick, then I got sick and damn if I didn’t get sick again. If I could stop getting whatever this fever-sore throat-stuffy nose-body ache sickness thing is, then I could get me butt to the gym. Sick last Sat and Sun. then ran my long run (6 miles!) on Monday. Sick Tues and Wed.
Feeling better today but still a little weak. My leg is hurting again. There’s a painful spot along the inside of the right calf, right on the bone. I think there’s even some swelling. I’ve been icing it and taking aspirin (anti-inflammatory). Last night I did the hot soak in tub and that seemed to help too.
No running now at all until after the 5K on Saturday. I think I’ll need the time to make sure its healing. Upper body stuff for weights.
You know, I had no idea that training was so hard. Not just being able to put in the miles, but just being able to finish the training without killing yourself.
Thanks for the email, Kris at AOL!
