So last weeks workouts went as planned with the exception of Sundays 2mile run. First let me just say that my 2 mile run on Friday wasn't bad at all. Wasn't easy but I was able to finish and not feel like my foot was going to come off. Saturday I walked for 15min then did a short 11 mile bike ride.
Then....it was Sunday! I had another 2 mile run and I was looking so forward to it too! I decided to go to the bike path and run there. No specific reason other than it's pretty and I know where my mile markers are. I started running and could feel that foot. Okay....it's OKAY! Keep running. Okay just walk a sec. Okay lets run again. Okay walk. This is stupid!! My foot hurt so bad that I only made it not even a quarter mile and turned around and just came back home. I was soooo discouraged that I just wanted to cry. But I wasn't done just yet....I decided to go and do the elliptical for 30min. Was a nice sweating sweaty cardio. The kind thats hard but not bad.
So I guess for now I'm gonna not run on it this week too. Today I worked out on the elliptical for 35min doing sport intervals and then walked on an incline for 20mins. I put a ankle brace on and that seemed to help too. After walking I did a lot of lower body weight type workout and abs. I'm gonna try and ice and brace during my workouts and maybe try again on Saturday or Sunday for another 2 mile run. The heel pain even just walking is feeling so much better.
