What else can you do? On my last update here, I mentioned my ridiculous ankle/foot injury and how it's sidelined my running and the goals that are attached to that (i.e Woodlands Half Marathon that I had JUST registered for! $$ :/ ). I also mentioned how I was going to keep on moving and hope that it will heal enough for me to at the very least, complete it.
I haven't waivered on that. I have been upbeat and positive and made a heck of a lot of lemonade this last couple of weeks. I have modified P90X video workouts and I have become reacquainted with my road bike, Blu, after many months of separation. So much so, that I will probably be ready for the MS 150 in April if I keep it up! I have found that much like my injury a little over a year ago (fibular stress fracture, same leg), the best and really only workout that can keep me in check cardiovascularly and still build leg muscle is by riding my bike. No pain to the leg then, or the ankle and foot now. The trickiest part is clipping out which concerns me (a little) about riding outdoors versus off the safety of my indoor trainer.
I will continue doing that until I can walk normally without flinching. It seems there is still pain to apply weight on the foot which is bitterly frustrating but I know I have to patient. Sigh.
I said I would see a doctor. Ummm...yea, I don't wanna. :P BUT, I did take a pause from typing this to visit the doctor's website. I found this and it confirms that I can't do much about it but rest it. Yes, it's self-diagnosis. No, I don't recommend it.
So carry on I say...find something to make today better than yesterday. Be grateful for every second.
Hasta la proxima,
V.
