As you all know my leg was bothering me yesterday. Well what I didn’t tell you was that my left ankle was bothering me even more. I’m not sure if it was because of the left ankle that was causing more pressure on my right leg or what, but my leg feels fine and my ankle does not. I was massaging it last night, and there are parts that are so tender it hurts to touch. So I immediately got out an ice pack and started icing it down.
When I woke up this morning it was hard to walk properly on it. I don’t know what is wrong with it, but I REALLY hope it goes away soon. It hurts to pretty much put any pressure on it at all so I am taking today off from working out. I plan on doing my morning routine later tonight since I just wasn’t in the mood to do anything this morning.
- 2 sets 70 leg lifts each leg
- 3 sets 20 kneeling push ups
- 2 sets 50 bicycle crunches
- a few other laying down arm strength moves
I also had to take a break from my Green Monster Challenge. I think 2 weeks is a long time, and I really just wanted some oats! So I made a bowl of oats and topped with blueberries, coconut, and cinnamon.
- 3/4 C Quaker Oats
- 3/4 C Non Fat Cows Milk
- 1 Tbs Peanut Butter & Co. Cinnamon and Raisin swirl
- 1/8 C unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 C fresh blueberries
Holy YUM! I have missed you oats! Of course I had some coffee on the side.
The Turkey Chase on Thursday looks like it is going to be a pretty big race. Part of me wants to have a lazy Thanksgiving morning, but the other part of me is so excited to get some exercise and participate in such a big race on Thanksgiving morning. Plus it is so early that by the time I get home from the race will be about the same time I would be waking up if I decided to not race. They have 8,000 people registered for all 3 races. I’m participating in the 10K, and now that my ankle is acting up I am really nervous. I take racing pretty seriously, and I hate to do bad. I used to quit at a lot at things earlier in my life, and I don’t want running to be another thing I quit. But I know my health comes first so even if I have to run this race slow I want to finish it strong. Please keep your fingers crossed.
Lunch was what I call GOURMET! HA! I had some Healthy Choice Chicken and rice soup with an Arnold Whole Grain Sandwich Thin on the side. I actually really liked this soup. It was just what I needed for this awfully cold rainy day.
I also had some kale on the side. Gotta get those greens! Unfortunately work got so busy, and I wasn’t able to finish all of these.
Back to the insane day at work!
