My workouts have been slacking off lately. It’s the holiday season, things come up. I’ve got so much to get done in the next two weeks! I am leaving one job within the next few days and starting a new one in January. That alone is a lot to get ready for, considering I’m going from doing very little work, to being busy in an elementary school all day!
This weekend, I only managed to get in a 6 mile run. I need to get on track, to be ready for the 1/2 in March. I know I won’t win any land-time records, but I do want to run the race comfortably. I’ve got at least 9-10 weeks though. More than enough time.
Today, I had planned to run at the gym and lift after work. For some reason though, my left big toe is swollen! It was fine on Saturday after our run and I felt no pain yesterday. I’m not sure what I did while I was sleeping, but gosh it hurts to walk on. I checked it against my other toe, and yep, it’s swollen and purple. The joint inside hurts a lot too.
What on earth could this be from? I didn’t stub it or do anything. Just woke up and walked around and found it to be painful.
So, I’m thinking of scrapping my run and workout this evening, to lift upper body at home. All I want to do lately is eat tons of junk food and hibernate for the winter! I’m so lazy…
