Injury-Free (well, less anyway)

I am amazed how an injury can totally derail me. I don't know how professional athletes do it, well except that they don't have to "work" while re-habbing. But after my 12 miler last weekend and my foot was killing me, I was totally done. It really had started before that. The pain had been lingering and just making me dread the running. But what I learned last week that I felt really guilty and anxious all week for not working out. It also didn't help that work was super busy and our extra hands in the house were gone. So my schedule wasn't as flexible as I'm used to. Well all excuses aside, I haven't been getting it done.

So what do I do now? Well hopefully I didn't overdo it today, we'll see how I feel tomorrow. I won't run tomorrow, but I would like to get a ride in, if possible. I'll bus to work, then home, and hopefully get a 12 mile ride in the evening. The garage is back in winter mode, which means the workout gear is all accessible. I took advantage of that tonight and did my second run for the day on the treadmill.

So this week's goals, which I'm going to make flexible as I don't want to derail when I miss something:

3 more runs
2 rides
1 swim
1 yoga & some cross-training.

I want to start working in more cross training to build strength over the winter and work on increasing speed, not distance for the running.

We'll see how it goes, another busy week at work but I'm going to work on managing my time better and getting workouts in early instead of late!
