My Running Shoes are Resting

Coach made me hang up my running shoes for at least a week. I'm not happy, but am obeying. I'm having some issues with my Achilles. I have some heel lifts and that seems to help a lot. I'm hoping if I do what I'm told, this will be short lived. Doug even made me stay home from a walk the other night when he took Mols out. What is a girl to do but sit on the couch, eat bon bons and drink wine? Sounds good for a while. But only a short while.

I am going to hit the bike or elliptical tonight for a bit for a non impact workout. Let's hope this doesn't last long!

  1. Oh girl, I had achilles tendonitis in both at that same time years ago. It is so painful. I had to take a lot of time off. It was way back before I had even run a full marathon. I think I was training for my first Half. Anyways, I hope they get better soon.

  2. That's why I keep not going to the doctor - I don't want them to tell me to not run! EEK. Good job following orders though :) Rest up and enjoy the chocolate!
