I started reading Born To Run last night. Why? The same reason Christopher McDougall wrote it, my feet hurt! I ran twice in the last three days and now I am hobbling around the house. When I woke up this morning I would have traded my heel pain for a Tequila hangover reminiscent of college. My 96 year old Great Aunt Betty would have looked more graceful coming down the stairs. I love running but this is getting out of hand. Last year I injured my right calf, did 12 weeks of PT and have run on and off since. I was feeling good, working toward Wellness so I thought it was time to start running again. Now my left calf hurts. I am QUILTY of not stretching. Apparently that is important now that I am getting older? I can walk all day, no pain. Run the 10 miles up and down Mt. Snow, no pain. Even walked on the dirt road barefoot because my shoes where causing pain, no pain. But three miles around the neighborhood and PAIN. I have to make a plan for tomorrow so I don't stop my progress but this is so discouraging and frustrating.
Shakespeare was at the park today. Well actors doing Shakespeare, it was fun. My daughter was in hysterics as they did Romeo and Juliet in the style of What's My Line? It as a nice break from unpacking and thinking about the wedding plans. Did I mention that construction will be beginning at the house tomorrow? Should only take about three weeks!
