I've really tried to have a better attitude about this injury. Last stress fracture, I didn't handle it very gracefully and really wanted to make a better effort this time around. BUT this weekend was not-so-pleasant. I had a really wonderful workout on Saturday morning. But then I took my kids on a bike ride while I pushed Georgia in the jogging stroller. The walk/ride was probably 1-2 miles. I think I pushed it too much. I didn't run, but I walked a lot more that day that I have in awhile and my ankle became very sore and achy. I will never say that I'm giving up. But I'm seriously thinking about really adjusting my running goals. Last year, I spent a lot of time and effort with running. I feel like the time and effort inputted (is that a word???) didn't result in a sufficient output (or I didn't meet my goals). I feel like I studied a lot on running/training programs and really made an effort with lifting/stretching. BUT I'm still so far away. I'm feeling frustrated and defeated. I've been out of my boot since the beginning of October and I'm just starting to run (2-3 minutes every 10 minutes). Shouldn't I be farther along? What am I suppose to be learning from this? What am I doing wrong? I don't like NOT have any race plans for 2013 because I'm so out of shape. Ughhhhhh.... Funny thing is....I'm only "emotional" about running. Wahhhhh....wahhhhh....wahhhhh And I ate 3 donuts today. sigh.... |
