Well, it's officially been 2 weeks since my last run. Well, 1 week and 6 days. I couldn't take it anymore. All of that time off started making me feel out of shape and a bit on the "larger" size...
As some of you might know from reading my last entry (THANK YOU FOR READING BTW), I managed to be a loser and sustain an injury to my achilles tendon that caused me a lot of pain and a LOT of swelling. The pain was somewhat bearable to run with, but the swelling really killed my range of motion so I decided to take some time off to recover.
Well, here I am. "Recovered" would hardly be a term I'd choose to describe myself, but at least I was able to run today. Over the past 2 weeks, I literally just woke up, went to work, and went to bed. I went from not being able to walk more than 6 inches at a time, to having a normal looking stride. The pain is pretty much non-existent when I walk, but when I run, there's still this weird "twinge".
I only ran 3 miles today. The last thing I need is to run 13 and kill my leg before this marathong, so I'm thinking I should ease back into this. I'd rather run out of shape than in pain. Anyway, the run itself was okay, nothing special. I still felt some pain in my leg, but it was bearable. My only concern now is that I'm going to feel even more pain the more mileage I tack on...
Despite all of this, I'm finally back and looking forward to getting back in shape and getting this marathong done!! I can't wait to cross that finish line and finally say that I ran a whole marathong!!!!!!!!
BTW: I've officially signed up for the Shamrockn' Half Marathong in Sacramento. It's going to be on March 13 and I invite anyone and everyone to join me! It's going to be awesome and I think they're celebrating St. Patty's Day too. And you know what that means.... BEEEEEEER.
