SWIM? will eta, I'm signed up at 5pm.
Woke up this morning knowing I shouldn't run. This is a rest week, it's only a 2-3 mile day, and I won't directly benefit from a 2 mile run. My mind will benefit in the moment, the dopamine hit or whatever it is will help, but then the lingering issue will still be there.
It finally came out this morning, and I let go of the guilt of hiding it from him. I also let go of the guilt of denying my heart issues, I tried explaining that I can honestly belief both that I had the HA and that I didn't have the HA at the same time, and be equally convinced of both truths. That was another source of stress. I don't want to the "always injured" type and be constantly having issues. I see how that goes with family, and I don't want us to model that stress. I don't want to be ignoring a potential injury I could fix, and at the same time I deny that I have an injury.
I don't know if I'm injured. Or if I just need a few days. Or if there's another stress fracture. Or a high hamstring tear (that's what I feel when I sit or stretch the leg as if I'm sitting - a high hamstring and mid-hamstring "something"). It's like a sore spot or a bruise.
When I stand up from sitting, it's in the knee, like the knee doesn't want to straighten out. It can be uncomfortable to move the knee while flexing it, but mostly I feel it walking or running.
Randomly, my foot at the heel and near the arch will have a sharp pain, like a stress fracture or break. But I don't think these are stress fractures. But I've thought that before (x-ref fall of 2019).
I'm trying to get more specific on the description. In the meantime, what is actionable, as LA would say?
1. Rest, just see what a few days can do. Stretch, foam roll, and minimize activity
2. Learn to describe the issues specifically
3. Don't Panic
4. Get healthy otherwise, food and sleep, to maximize recovery and not fall behind.
5. Scroll back and see how long this has been going on?
In the meantime, don't panic, and think of all the benefits? Can sleep in. Get the house ready to sell. Ugh.
1. Could get gut calmed down on SCD or low carb (it's unhappy from long-term stress)
