6 miles on the treadmill...slowly. Eventful. (Groan...I do NOT want to tell you what happened. I feel like such a dork!) I was watching a movie and not paying very much attention to running, when suddenly I felt like someone grabbed my foot and pulled it HARD. Actually I had drifted to the side and partially stepped off the moving belt. So of course I did the logical thing and screamed and fell down. In the process the big toe on my right foot somehow got folded back under itself for a second. It is quite painful today (I am blogging this on Thurs.) I am terrified that this may affect my ability to run this week.
It is almost like I am subconsciously sabotaging myself by flinging myself off hills and treadmills. This is absolutely ridiculous. So I am going to get this off my chest and hopefully I can stop hurting myself. 1.) I don't want to run a marathon right now. 2.) I don't want to run a hot half marathon, so I may wait longer than just this fall to run my next half 3.) I don't want people to judge the efficacy of the blog or anyone's running advice by watching me. If you want to see if Sasha knows what he is talking about when it comes to running, look at how many miles he logs without ever getting injured, and how well his kids are doing. *Phew* Now I feel better--much less inclined to try "sudden death" training techniques. :)
