I'm really beginning to hate Mondays! I think I am going to find a job where Monday is included in the weekend :-) So last night I packed my lunch, laid out a work outfit for the day, slept in my workout clothes, and set an alarm for 6:15. I was ready to start my new routine of working out in the morning. I SLEPT LIKE CRAP ALLLLLLLL NIGHT! My hips hurt, my knee hurts, and my ankle was throbbing, and let's not even mention the shooting pain from my blister. I woke up at about 3 and stayed away for about a half hour and I kept telling myself it's ok I'll just take some advil before I go to the gym. I woke up at 6 before my alarm even went off, and decided going to the gym would be pointless because I can't even freaking walk :-( Seriously my blister is SOOOOO nasty today, I won't share pictures. It scabbed and has all sorts of nasty stuff coming out of it, and when I try and walk it feels like someone is slicing my foot open. So no gym this morning :-( I think I will try and get in a bike workout after work though depending how that feels on the foot.
I am running a 5k this coming weekend with a girl from work so she can qualify for my heat at the Bolder Boulder :-) I'm excited to be running another 5k, plus to have someone to run with at the Bolder Boulder!! Since I will be running that on Saturday my long run was going to have to be on Sunday anyway, so today will be an off day I will do my four mile runs as scheduled tomorrow and Thursday, and then the 3 mile one I was supposed to do today we'll be my 5k on Saturday. After my last 5k I wasn't sore, but I am definitely a little nervous about running one Saturday and then 5 MILES on Sunday. I have noticed having a day off before has really helped (having 5 days off a week has not helped!).
I put one of Dr. Scholl's blister treatments over the owwy, but I honestly think that is part of what made it so bad! I put one on yesterday and wore it for the day and then when I took a shower I pulled it off, and let it "breathe" all night. When I called the bf before bed I told him that it felt really dry and like it was cracking and then I woke up this morning and it looks like a freaking war wound! I put another blister treatment on it just to help with the pain, but I am going to have to figure something out and fast because I can't be skipping any more runs!! There is no way I am going to make it 5 miles on Sunday if I don't get in my runs this week! I also need to find a solution to fix the real problem, my hips, so that I can quit dealing with getting blisters. Any ideas on how to fix either of these would be much appreciated!
Did I mention it is supposed to snow AGAIN today?! Told you freaking Mondays!
