ALEC: Yet, another day of rest...

So, not much to report on since I am not currently training (or at least not in the sense of actually getting out there and running). My right leg/ankle is finally feeling better. The past two days I have not felt any twinging when I put weight on it and today I am able to move it left to right without feeling much of a strain. I saw a woman walking this morning and thought maybe I should go for a long walk to keep my training up. And then I realized that this is exactly what I do...I stop being patient and start going again and injure myself more. So, I will not go for a walk today and be disciplined in listening to my body (intuition as DL put is so well this morning). I applaud all of you that are out there training, moving, being active. We will all cross the finish line, one way or another. Love Angelina's latest post. It's about doing it, not what place you come in at. Love to you all, fellow runners/walkers/movers.

ALEC: Another day of rest...well, kind of

So, I continue to not run (and be envious of those that are) until my leg heals. I believe it's getting better as the muscles didn't quiver at all yesterday as I limped around. I have tried, for the past two days, to stay off my my right leg as much as possible and have been icing it four to five times a day. It seems to be working. But I hate not being active, especially since I'm not working and don't have much to do. Today, I will hobble myself down to the gym to at least work out the upper part of my body. I was thinking that I might try one of the elliptical machines to keep my legs somewhat active, but then heard LW say in my head "don't push it". So, I will not being doing any leg work today. Hopefully by this coming Monday, I will be able to do at least a 35 minute run. Here's to all of you that are pushing and challenging yourselves. Run on, my friends. Run on!!!!
