I feel like it’s been one thing after another this year, holding me back from going all out at the gym. I had a weird pectoral strain, I was training for a marathon, my right shoulder was sore, I hurt my neck, I had infections, my chest hurt again, etc. etc. Ugh.
I was excited to have an entire week off last week then start with a fresh, uninjured slate on Monday this week.
But then I was lazy and didn’t wear my water shoes at the river.
First I got a cut on the bottom of my foot. Then I had a teeny tiny piece of metal or something in my big toe. My snister worked hard at the beach and at the house that night to get it out. Thanks, snis!
Did I learn my lesson?
No, of course not.
The last day on the water, I stepped on a log or something and it tore that same toe the f*ck up. If you want to see gross pictures of it, click here and here. The good news is, that metal or whatever is definitely gone. The bad news is it’s torn the f*ck up and needs to heal.
So… another week where I am babying something at the gym. Sigh. Maybe next week. Or the week after.
Oh, that does not sound good 🙁
I get your frustration at not being able to do your workouts as planned – seems that somehow happens often when we get all geared up with a program or plan. Hopefully the foot heals well and soon so you can get on with things!
It’s feeling much better since that pic! Almost closed up and I ran this morning!
And thanks for seeing me and my frustration. I hope this is not a trend I am starting, you know? I try to hard to take care of and listen to my body and don’t want to be someone who always has something like that going on. Mostly because I am lazy and don’t want to deal with it LOL.
Yeowtch. Yes, water shoes, for sure. Your snis clearly has kids. 😉 I hope that it heals quickly and that you are soon back to 100%. At least the rest of your body should feel good? Maybe?
I wore them this weekend! So proud of me, ha ha. And yes, she is very nurturing and caring (3 kids).
The toe is 99% healed but I feel like maybe it still has something in it. It’s coming to the surface, so that’s good!
