So I am staring out my week with hopefully a good note. I walked for an hour today and so far so good! I have to be careful though because I am so obsessed with my leg that I think I am creating phantom pain. I just need to try to focus on other things. I am really praying that I can keep progressing and not have any set backs.
All last week I did some classes at the rec center. They totally kicked my butt! It felt really good. I am going to try to do the classes at least twice a week. My body needs a complete overhaul. I have to say that that is one good thing about this stress fracture. It has helped me focus on other things than just running. And I really needed that.
I registered for the SLC half marathon which is this saturday and obviously can't run it. So am trying to see if I can change it to the 5k and walk-run it. I hope they will let me.
It is my birthday today and my husband got me the best book as one of my gifts(I am going to get my new shoes too! I can't wait!), it is called "Born to run" it is written by Christopher McDougall and I think anyone who like to run should read it. It is a true story that is about this tribe in Mexico in the Copper Canyon. The tribes name is" Tarahumara" and they are known for their endurance any physical health. They have a crazy diet that includes the seeds that you use with the chita pets. You soak them in water and they turn into a gel and you eat it. It is suppose to give you an incredible amounts of energy. They are known for running for 4 days straight without much food of rest. I just started it, but I am hooked. Any way if anyone wants a good read I recommend it. Happy Running! :) |
