Running update, et al
Well, I got myself back into the swing of things, mostly.
Thu, 8/14: First time trying to run since hurting my ankle on Tue 8/5. I only ran about half my normal distance before climbing. It wasn't painful, but I was still a bit dubious on my foot as it would pop a lil' bit occassionally. The climb was ok, but I also had to go slow because of the popping. In retrospect, I think I was doing the right thing, starting to work out the kinks. Sometimes you just need to give a swollen area some activity to flush fluid and to stop it from getting stiff (hurr hurr).
Fri, 8/15: Thankfully Advanced Kickboxing was light on people and one of the other students was coming off a sinus cold, so we didn't do ladders. The route was actually a lil' shorter than the route I normally do myself, and I survived it rather well. No popping. I was still hesitant about going full bore on right leg kicks that night (as I would have to pivot on my left foot).
Sat, 8/16: Went running after teaching my private lesson for the day. Did my full approximate mile route that I normally do, and it was totally fine.
Sun, 8/17: Did my mile route around the neighborhood. Other than a slow time, it went well.
Mon, 8/18: This is where I had a stumble (not physically, thank goodness). My morning run got rained out (WTF on the sudden switch, BTW), and it really doesn't work out for me to run in the evening. I'm too damn hungry by the time I get some free time. I'll be back on track tomorrow before climbing ^_^
In addition to all that, I have to say I had a wonderful weekend. I haven't had a fun day like Saturday in a while. I got to go out and do some Parkour with friends, did some shopping at Kinokuniya, and then I hung out with capnexposition for the rest of the night, spent mostly playing Tekken 5 (god I'm an asshole with Xiaoyu... it doesn't take much for it to come back), Soul Caliber 3 and watching Venture Bros season 2. Hopefully now that I got him kickstarted by finishing the first disc, he'll get the 2nd disc done himself XD It just felt good to spend time with people.
