In the end we had 26miles behind us and my leg felt great! This morning I wondered out loud if I could run again yet. Husband suggested I wait a few more days. Always the voice of reason.
The 5K next Sunday is going to be interesting. My first time back to running won't be until Thursday.
Push-ups are still a pain in the abs, but my confidence is building. This morning I was able to drop and give 'em three. It's still not enough to start W1D2, but it's an improvement.Here's my "Grrrrrrr, I'm strong and I can do this push-up challenge" face. Pretty intimidating huh? I bet you totally don't want to run up against me in a dark alley now. LOL
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks!!
I didn't know you had an injury (I been gone awhile). It's hard to take time off and heal, but sometimes that's the ticket. Twice I had debilitating tendinitis in, of all places, my long (2d) toe and the only thing that made it better was six weeks off each time. Period. It worked too, although it was a drag getting back to running after the layoff.
ReplyDeleteThe pushup challenge. I oughtta look into that.
Glad to hear your legs felt strong after the ride. Just give it a few more days before running again. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG Lisa!! I started the challenge . . .my oh my I'm so going to need your help to get through this thing LOL I will have to tell you how horrible I did later . . .
ReplyDeleteIf I was a push up challenge, I would be VERY AFRAID :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Glad you are letting your injury heal, what patience you have! It should really pay off though.

It is hard to let injuries heal... just thismorning I jammed my toe... I don't think it is broken, I hope it isn't broken it is nice and swollen right now and turned a lovely shade of dark blue! My point is... I understand the injury thing... I am so frustrated at myself!

ReplyDeleteI have been so out of the blog loop, I didn't realize a push-up challenge was going on until I read it on Jess's blog.

ReplyDeleteWay to stick with the push-up challenge. I'm starting it for real tomorrow. I've been putting off trying any pushups yet!

ReplyDeleteGood luck with the challenge!!! After my tri this upcoming weenkend, I think I'll start that challenge!
Glad to hear the bike ride didn't bother your knee! And yes I'm totally scared and would run in a dark alley! LOL
