I run again. That's right folks I am going to test out the broken foot.
Am I going for a short run around the neighbourhood ... no
A controlled run on the treadmill .. no
A 5k race ... yes
That's right, my first run is going to be a 5k race. Yip should be memorable. Last week my foot was feeling well nothing, which equates to great. No pain. No tenderness. Nothing. Wonderful lovely glorious nothing. Then just like in life, when things are going swimmingly, reality bitch slaps you. I put in 40 minutes (torture) on the elliptical tonight. My foot is now sore.
So I am wondering if my foot is really sore, or is this something my minds created so that I can have another week off and a sleep in on Friday. My mind is crafty like that.
I'm still going to do the run, notice now I insist on calling it a run rather than a race, crafty brain again. Anyway, worse case scenario, I run walk it.
The bonus of this plan is that I'll probably post my slowest ever 5k time, I can squeak in and enter in Vanilla's
Shave Your 5K Challenge
The next time I run a 5k, I'll be speedy, fast, supersonic. I'll win! ha ha ha ha! The world will be mine!
Cunning!
Oh man, I'm so dumb. Why didn't I think of that? Contest or no, be careful. :D
I'm not worried. Once you start running in that race your competitive instincts will take over and you won't be able to slow yourself down. You're going to be so pissed when you PR.
Best of luck.
Gurl! You better be careful!!!
hip hip hooray!!!
I had a stress fracture in my ankle a year and a half ago and I still get phantom pains. Good luck on your run!
You'll do great, just don't overwork yourself. I like how your crafty brain works.
You're so funny. First run out - and it's a race! Good luck and be careful.
No you won't. Vanilla has rigged it so his wife wins by obliterating her recent 31:54 PB.
