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!
