Yes, that is my foot. Yes, I will be better. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I am injured. I'll talk more about it later but I do want to let everyone know that I will be better. This is a momentary set back in the plans I have for myself. If you are injured right now, you have to know that you will be better. Just remember that.
Since I'm clearly not going to be doing a lot of leg exercises, it's time to focus on my core. I really like this workout because it focuses on 2 areas that I really want to tone up: my arms and abs. I'd love for y'all to share any core exercises with me that you like!
Have a great week everybody!
Oh no!!! What happened?!?? I am going to be sending you some positive foot (or ankle?) vibes :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the arm/core workout. I am going to try it tomorrow!
Thanks for the vibes! It's a stress fracture that is hopefully healing!
DeleteHaving popped over from SUAR's blog...I see.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, I've been there. Here? There. [Stress fractured one of mine three...yes, THREE...times. Long story.] Once you're off it, it will start to heal. Don't get discouraged - mine always feel: same, same, same, WHOA waaaaay better!, same, same, same, HEY! I just took a step that didn't hurt!.
In the meantime, maybe lots and lots of knee push-ups? :)
I took your advice and I've been doing lots of knee push ups! I can definitely feel improvement! Thanks Holly!
DeleteLove that you are taking charge and not letting your injury get the best of you - way to work the core! Sorry about the injury though!
ReplyDeleteOh and my capris came from spandits.com!
Thanks Jen! I'm getting around in my boot better and I've even lost a few pounds! I'm going to check out that site!
DeleteDid you do this at the Shelby Farms 10K? I was hoping to say hello!
ReplyDeleteHey bud, I was there. That was the day that I knew I had to go to the ortho for my foot. I ended up walking most of it because I was in so much pain. Nothing stopping me from my snowflake medal though ;) I hope to see you at another race soon! I'm registered for Germantown but I'm hoping my ortho clears me for it.
Deleteno!!! is this from your half? are you having to work on it?
ReplyDeleteI think the stress fracture had been there for about a month. I ran the half on it somehow. You know us pharmacists don't get breaks ;) I'm working on it. I'm the PIC so I can't abandon my crew. I have a stool that I *try* to sit on but you know that doesn't happen much.
DeleteSo sorry you are hurt! Good for you for focusing on your core though--I am loving all the core work I've been doing in pilates. It can really make you feel so strong!
ReplyDeleteCore work is amazing! It really does help so much. I can't wait to see if my running improves when I come back!
