So, after two weeks off, I am back at it. Saturday, July 1, I got my first official running injury. What was it? Plantar Fasciitis. So, what does it feel like? Like you've crushed your foot with a sledge hammer. That definitely qualifies as one of the things I never EVER want to do again. I was on a 5.5 mile run, and the last .5 nearly killed me. Well, I think I have whined enough. I took two weeks off--two weeks of no exercise whatsoever--and got back at it Saturday.
IT WAS AWESOME!!!
I did a 5 mile run, and I had some slow sections but also some fast sections. I actually had the breeze in my daughter's hair (she is my training buddy and rides in her stroller in front), and she was giggling as we ran. Yes, it may have been a downhill bit, but I am taking anything I can get here!
This morning, I took a cycling class and actually got there at 5:45. Tomorrow, I am going to do some yoga and maybe take a quick run. I love being able to run, and my foot injury reminded me just how fortunate I am to be able to run.
