bad foot + run = even worse foot
It is my 5th wedding anniversary today.
Which means business as usual. Maybe not absolutely and totally. We went after all for the 15k tandem jump and then we had a lovely weekend in London as part of our celebrations. So I thought it be a good idea to celebrate by having a longer than usual run and then doing Insanity training together with A.
First, my watch was discharged so I needed to charge it a bit. Then my foot was aching rather badly. When I finally got my headphones and gear ready (where on earth are all my sport bras hiding???) it was past 2 pm. The sun was still high up in the sky, pure heat all around. I run on the road for about half the way- it was easy on one hand as there were no rocks to negotiate, but no shade made it awful to run.
I could feel my foot complaining about the excercise, just to stop hurting after a while. Then aching again even worse.
I wasn't sure if it was my breathing or muscles giving up, but around 3.6km I had to start walking. I couldn't run any longer. Be it heat or the foot- it was an excuse to slow down. I walked for 2 minutes and started to jog again. That lasted 20 seconds and I had to slow down again. I walked the last kilometre.
After the shower, I had to use an anti inflammatory gel on my foot and yet I still couldn't walk properly. I have been hobbling ever since.
A. Picked me up and we went out for a celebratory sushi dinner. V was amazing using chopsticks and I was full of love for my little 3 year old.
I made her a red apple juice from our own apples and we had to call it a day. I think I should wait for my foot to get better before doing any impact activities (Insanity or running). It's really disappointing.
The positive points - I bettered myself on the first 3 kilometres :)
