Goose egg so far today. AARRRRGGGGHHH! Warning: if injuries are contagious, DO NOT READ FURTHER!
First, I am just about as sore as I am after a marathon after that downhill run on Saturday. So, I woke up extremely stiff yesterday morning (but after 10 hours of sleep-wonderful!), wandered into the bathroom, and promptly stubbed my toe! What a way to start the day. I hopped back into the bedroom screaming, looked down, and...blood everywhere! When I could finally get back into the bathroom, it looked like a horror movie set! Yuck! Somehow all the toenail polish was taken off that toenail too...weird. Anyway, my husband went to the store to get band-aids (can you tell we don't have kids?!), cleaned it, and taped it up. I still can't wear closed-toe shoes.
I'm hoping some of the soreness and the toe issue goes away today so I can get in some miles tonight. I'm disappointed, especially after my good 6-day running week last week.
PM-I did 45 minutes on the bike, followed by 15 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Let me tell you: that elliptical trainer requires a whole new level of coordination that I do not have! I guess that's why I run: I don't have to fall as far.
My soreness has improved enough that I should be able to run fine tomorrow. I'm glad I did the non-impact stuff today, though. |
