Good Morning

Great morning!  I slept and I slept well and I slept late - 7:30!  and it all felt great.  And it's a gorgeous morning here.  Just perfect!  So, I decided to go for broke and run 2 miles.  Yes, run.  And I did.  But, oh my, am I ever out of shape!!!  I had all I could do to keep myself going but I did.  Left Achilles tendon is a little sore now but so be it.  Now, we're going to the Polk County Fair for a couple hours so more walking.  Then home to mow the lawn so more work.  I have to get myself back in shape.  And I will.

Congratulations! On the sleep, the sleeping in, and the run! Boy, it's insane how hard we work to build up and how easily it all goes away.

Sounds like a fun day - enjoy the fair, RunnerDad!

I meant to say, I did nothing yesterday. I had a major HR fiasco that I needed to handle so I went in to the office before 6 am. And I was just physically and emotionally exhausted after that. So I didn't even try to run.

I'm going to the Little Italy FM with Cindy this morning and I slept in a bit too. So I'll try and run or hit the gym later this afternoon.

I've got nothing to report today. I did go to the FM this am. I was just too worn out to do anything this afternoon! Tomorrow though.

My left heel was sore much of the day yesterday after that 2 miles in the morning. Isn't that ever going to heal up? My PT woman gave me an ultrasound and showed me a couple of exercises on Thursday morning but I read between the lines that there isn't a whole lot that can be done about it except for time. Very frustrating.

That's so sad. And frustrating. From what I've been reading here, rest is what fixes it.
