The Run That Wasn’t

by Tiff

I attempted a run yesterday morning.  It didn’t happen though.  Don’t you hate it when you get all geared up and motivated for a run, but then you fail?  I had this toe pain that came out of nowhere.

ouch

Yup – right there.  Anyone have any idea what this is?  I think I may have over-stretched a tendon doing lunges in body pump, or perhaps I bruised it running/wearing heels/ellipticaling.  Anyway… the point is, I was going to work out, but after a slow hobble home, I just didn’t have motivation.  (I was also still in pain.)

I’m going to just walk today then follow that up with this 30-minute circuit.  Wish me luck!  I think I better take it easy on running, lunges, and downward facing dog for a few days.

The good news?  I’m going to be tailgating this afternoon.  There will be beer.  There will be bbq.  There will be one happy Tiff.

The other good news?  I got a sweet new workout outfit at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  (shorts – Nike, top – Reebok)

Fact: When you think you’re cool, the minute you show it off, you will do something very un-cool… such as hitting your knee on the corner of a media cabinet.  #fail

Hopefully there will not be any fails at the tailgate.  Have a good weekend!

  1. Haha that is totally something I would do! I always end up hitting my body on something in my house! Chairs are not a friend to my toes ;)

  2. Ugh I hate when that happens. I was all geared up for a run one day this week and forgot to set my alarm.

  3. Ugh, that stinks! It happens though. Get better soon girl.

  4. Aw that’s a bummer! Hope it gets better soon!!! (Also, I ran into a coffee table yesterday and now I have a huge bruise on my thigh. haha)

  5. Haha love the pics.. :) I always do something goofy when I am trying to be “cool” :)

  6. Ouchies, that could definitely be anything, but even almost a toe spur. Staying off of it is the best bet:(

    And seriously, I need your arm workout – gun show!

  7. Ow – don’t think I’ve had that pain before. maybe it was just a fluke – you should try again and see if it’s still there!
