BIKE 1hr 19 miles
I didn't even try running today, I could feel the soreness in the foot and just went for the bike. The original plan was for a tready. I'm amused by the sacrifices I can make for an A race. From 28+ mile runs to completely resting it.
What is going on with the foot? It feels like a bruise, and luckily not an acute break/tear type of injury. Of course, that's just how it feels. It doesn't hurt to move the foot and flex the toes, it doesn't hurt for my hands to massage it, but it is definitely a sore spot. About a 2 out of 10 on the pain scale, in other words, pretty mild.
But on the nervous scale--more like a 7 out of 10. My big race is just over 2 weeks away and here I am nursing this little injury. Yet I'm pretty calm. I think about it, but don't agonize. I'm aware, but not sick about it. I also have a lot of trust learned last fall about being able to rest once the cardio base is in place. So just like the Redman to Glacial interval, I will rest again here in faith that I'm ready.
And my arms are sore from yesterday's short strength workout :) My abs aren't, or they aren't yet. I'm looking forward to getting back into strength training.
