Yesterday, I almost forgot about my goals. Ha! It has been a while since I made any so I wasn’t ready to check things off in my head like I should be. So I got right to it, and made a goals chart just like I used to and hung it near my workout calendar:
Now let’s hope I remember to look at it occasionally to remind myself, especially of the water tracking and paleo. The other goals are already solidified in my head.
So anyway! Yesterday, I said I was sore from my run but that was an understatement. I was in pain only on my left side, the side that I have a bum ankle. I guess without realizing it, I was compensating for my ankle by running funny. That lead to major pain in my leg and especially my hip. I spent most of the day with my thigh wrapped and my hip with an ice pack. Finally, I took a hot bath and then did some yoga to stretch it all out.
Speaking of which, that means I got my first workout of the month in! Yoga is still activity so it counts!
Today, I am feeling loads better. I even stood on one leg this morning (to get my jeans on, lol). Yesterday, that was not possible. Still, more icing will be done today. I am supposed to run 2 miles today so we’ll see how I feel tonight. The hip has been giving out a bit so I don’t want to hurt it more (or face-plant while jogging down the road).
Today, I have lots of school work (I always do!) and one class. I made some delicious Paleo-friendly food last night so I’ve got lunch ready to go. I will share the recipe tomorrow. I just have to figure out what to make tonight!
Hope you’re feeling MUCH better today! Your October 1 looks better than mine on paper. 😉 keep up the good work, girlie! That yoga should really help with the healing.
Glad you’re feeling better and if you need to WALK 2 miles, would that be so wrong? I’m not a marathon runner but thought it’s worth asking 🙂
