Back to normal
Today is really the first pain free day I've had since Saturday's 5K. How ridiculous is that? I think I just walked way too fast and everything on my right leg from the top of my knee to the tips of my toes hurt. Especially painful is the area right above my ankle. Yowza!
Pain or not I've kept walking. I did take Sunday off but, I've walked each day since hoping to walk off whatever the problem was and I guess it worked. If the pain had gotten worse I would've stopped but it didn't so I had no excuse to stop walking.
When my brother and I were kids and we would get hurt, our dad would always say to us "You're ok just walk if off. That's it, shake it off." To this day, B and I joke about it. We could have a broken arm or be bleeding and dad would still say "Walk it off." The Saint and I were in a really serious car accident about 5 months before our wedding and the first thing my brother said to me when they finally let him see me in the Emergency Room was "What are you still doing in bed? C'mon walk it off!" It was the only possible thing that could've made me smile at that moment.
So I guess I had my dad's voice in my head this week every time I got back on the treadmill and for once, he was right.
My next event is a 3k at the end of August. The Saint will be walking with me and since he's a newbie, I decided to take it easy on him in his first event. I can't wait!
