I hope that you all had a great week.
There really isn't too much to report here in my world. I'm finally feeling better after the half last Sunday. I was really sore. I'm not sure if it was the cold or what but I was pretty beat up. I felt good enough to go to spin class Wednesday night but didn't stay for boot camp. Hopefully next week I'll feel good enough to do both classes.
Yesterday, I went to the doctor for follow up on my existing injuries. He filmed me running and is really surprised that the pain is in my right foot, not my left. He thinks that my left should be the one with the issues based on my running form or lack thereof. I'm a heel striker so he recommended a new shoe, the Mizuno Wave Prophecy. I did a little research and these babies are not cheap!! But, at this point, I'm willing to try anything!! And apparently, the issue isn't just the Achilles but includes the peroneal tendons as well. He did some ART and gave me some exercises to do. Also, I earned myself a couple more weeks of rest, rehab, and low impact activities. I guess now I have no choice but to concentrate on strength training. :-)
I think nutrition-wise, I've had a pretty good week, but I'm feeling "off" I've been feeling a little bloated and just overall kinda "yuck" this week. Hopefully that will subside soon and I'll feel lean and mean again!!
Ok, I told you it wasn't much and I wasn't kidding!! That's all I've got for now!!
Until next time...don't forget to be AWESOME!!
Take care and have a GREAT weekend!!
Your friend,
Theresa
What brand of running shoe do you wear??
Ever heard of/tried Mizunos/the Mizuno Prophecy??
Hi Theresa! Thank you for stopping by the Anything Goes linky! I love your positive attitude while you're body is recovering. Way to take advantage of strength training! Have a super weekend :) Amber @ Fit Foodie Runs
ReplyDeleteHi, Amber. Thanks! I'm trying to be positive but it's difficult, especially on warm, sunny days. All I want to do is lace up my shoes and hit the pavement!! Oh well. It is what it is. I guess that rest is best for now.
DeleteStopping by from Anything Goes linky. I hope you are up to full speed very soon. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for stopping by!!
DeleteHi Theresa. Always nice to find other Theresas with the 'h'. I'm a Saucony girl. They were the first pair of running shoes that made my feet happy. I tried Mizunos but my feet didn't like them too much.
ReplyDeleteI started out in Sauconys. I'm so confused about shoes because I've been told so many things!! I really don't know what to believe!!
DeleteI have the Mizuno Waves but I don't think they are a "Prophecy". I honestly don't run in them very often. I love my Brooks Pure Cadence. I've been running in them well over a year now. Hopefully the new shoes will help. Oh fellow Half Fanatic here as well....fairly new...and have never actually tried meeting up with anyone at a race for pics or whatever. I don't even have a clue what my # is :) guess I'm a bad fanatic.
ReplyDeleteI had a chance to try a pair of the Mizuno Wave Riders about a month ago and really liked them but they still hurt my heel. I'm hoping to figure out something soon because I miss running, especially with more daylight in the evenings now!
