December 16 – January 13th
Sooo, I've taken all this time off…3 weeks completely off and so far, one week on the bike. My ars is killing me!! I don't have any bike pants and I don't intend to get them because I'm hoping I'll never need them again…. Monday I'm going to go on a 20 jog (yay) to see how the foot feels..I am hoping I don't feel a thing…We'll see… Oh, by the way, I would rather have a sore ars than aqua jog, I hate the water and chlorine!
But anyway, this time off has been…well, sucky. BUT, what it did is to encourage and hold me to my foot exercises (once I am 100% healthy). I don't know why I don't listen to the pros when they tell me something, but I've always been the learn-by-doing type of girl…So I learned by getting injured… Man, I never thought I would hear myself say that, injured…11 years of running never injured… I guess I'm getting old and my body isn't as resilient, haha. No, I just need to work on the details and get back into this running scene once I'm back and running again…I am hoping it will be Monday or Tuesday, but I'll have to see… Maybe I'll go on the bike one more day on Monday so it will have been exactly 30 days! Call me paranoid, but hey, I'm trying to get healthy and stay healthy here!
