I had the weekend off from running so I was able to let my nipples recover from my last run. I beat them up so bad I was afraid the Nipple Protective Services were going to be knocking on my door wanting to ask me questions on why I am so abusive to such a sensitive part of my body.
I am a novice at exercising. I have to force myself to lift weights but I love to run. I completed the 5K and now I am training for a 10K. I am being guided by a Nike program that documents all my runs and I have set myself to be on a running schedule to be completely ready for a 10K.
I have been striving to reach my goals ever since I pulled off my shitty diaper, climbed up on the toilet, and with the biggest grin plopped my kids off in the pool like it was a hot summer day.
All indications point towards the fact that I have ankle tendonitis. I am following the R.I.C.E treatment and taking medication to relieve the pain and swelling.
This is complete bullshit and I am not happy about this. I want to get back out there and run my tail off but it looks like I need to give my ankle a real break, before it DOES break, and take it easy before I start my exercise routine again.
I have to admit that this is really my fault. I felt the pain but ignored it. I may be adorable but obviously I am not the brightest star in the sky. I continued to run even when my ankle was hurting and ran until I couldn't stand the pain anymore. What any smart person would have done is realize that something was wrong and to take a day off, or two, to let my ankle rest so that I wouldn't end up like this. This could have easily been taken care of it I didn't disregard my pain and actually pay attention to what my body was telling me. Our bodies know more about us than we do.
This will never happen again.
I finally broke down and joined a gym. I enjoy jogging and I have been doing very well but I just can’t seem to get interested in lifting weights at home. I purchased dumbbells to work out with but I lost interest after one week.
I have finally gotten off my ass and started thinking about my future and being healthy.
