It’s been a rough couple of weeks. As normal, the end of the financial quarter translates into a bunch of work for me. That’s okay - I’m used to that part.
But add to it the uncertainty of a reorganization at work at the same time I’m supposed to be taking over a new role, and work becomes an unusual source of extra stress for me.
And then - it happens. My injury. A pain in the ball of my foot that I know spells trouble. I’m in the middle of training for a half-Ironman, doing my running, biking, and swimming, and trying to get it all in during the busy time of work.
Maybe good timing, though. I’m working so much for the past two weeks, serious training is unlikely, so I decide to just rest. Very little running, but still good biking time.
Well, that didn’t help - as soon as my running started up again, so did the pain. Got some x-rays - no break. Called my podiatrist - he says no exercise until i can get an MRI. Now it’s supposed to be my long run and long ride weekend for my training, an instead, I’m on the couch, with an ice pack on my foot.
At some point, someone is going to tell me not to run for weeks at a time. I just hope that doesn’t come until September......
