STRENGTH 20 minutes of BOSU ball fun
SWIM 600 yards in a little under 20 minutes
The Saturday run that felt so good that day has left my right foot (and a little of the left) hurting. If I sit still for awhile (sleeping, sitting, driving) I get up with a limp that works itself out in a few minutes. So, I take that to be a tendon issue given the pattern. Ligament? Maybe, either way, it's not an injury pain. It feels like overuse-abuse getting to injury. So my plans to walk/jog on the treadmill this morning were changed to elliptical.
The elliptical wasn't entirely pain-free either, but it was better. No impact. The pain is on the outside of the ankle, along the outer edge of my foot behind the arch area. Then around and under the knob of ankle bone. It hurts, not a sharp pain but a bad ache. Kinda acute. So rest.
Really though when I think it over, it's obvious. I'm supposed to do the Return To Running plan by hopping around on the ladder-patterns. Time to tape that down in the basement. Should I have gym floor there for the hopping?
The BOSU ball was good, will I feel it later? I hope so. My plan is strength 3x a week. With a Plan, not just 'do strength'. The swim was good too, started off feeling faster in the water but I wore out as the yards came on. I tried the kickboard, that was OK. The ankle was having a tight-pain feeling, like it was saying "I don't like stretching like this!".
No commute because of rain.
