My Very Own Jeremiad

Random thoughts...pieces of me that pertain to nothing and anything. Yoda I am not, but yes I wish.

So trust your instincts, your gut, I keep saying to others and myself, and is applicable to everything in life.  Overall, I do an okay job at this, not great and today was really a not great day and its only 9 AM!  Go for run, get your ass in a shape other than largely round goes through my head, which is par for the course.  Yes, I've been running, actually had a great run on Thursday morning, so this isn't me jumping from the couch to the road/trail.  After procastinating for a bit and someone in Chat telling me to just go for run, I do. 

Yes, I did plan ahead, I did look at the weather, sunny and 19 degrees F (-7.22 C) so I dressed for the weather.  Put shea butter on my exposed skin (calves and face) and out the door I go.  I get to the 1st mile and I think should I stop my foot/ankle/achilles feels strange...no I will simply embrace the suck.  I get to 2.5 miles and can no longer embrace/cope with the suck, but I don't want to walk because its cold. So instead I decided to walk a telephone pole, run 2 telephone poles, walk 1 etc...the remaining mile home.  

All I can say is OMG my achilles is angry and now I am sitting with my foot in a bucket of ice water, which is stupidly cold.  Captain Obvious I am yes!  Note to self...do not embrace the suck and trust my gut and stay in bed!

 

update: Its official it’s achilles tendinitis squeak and all!  Tomorrow will be a walking, icing type of day.  Disney is going to be a blast this week....yep sarcasm!

CrimsonPaw - I couldn't help but laugh! I'd also think this way 😂 but, good for you for braving the cold and getting out there to run. That's great! Once your ankle feels better, maybe you'll want to try again. But maybe start off slower and at a shorter distance 😉 you got this! 😊

WillowJ - I have been taking it slow. I’ve worked up to 3.5 miles very slowly over the past few months, which why I’m so annoyed at myself for not stopping at the first mile! Arghh

WillowJ - No biggie, I will attempt again tomorrow morning...but when it feels off I will stop. Its still tender but not bad enough to not attempt.
