Rib update - the pain is more mild but still there. If I pick something up or lean into it, like leaning back in bed or lying down in bed, it hurts. But it's more mild. Thankfully it doesn't feel like a real break.
Yesterday night after a weekend of NOT running and only 5000 steps per day, my right upper hamstring started a pained twinge niggle. I anxietied about not doing strength training for a month now (since the coronavirus test, then Christmas, then the rib... I have so many excuses!).
Anxiety was a theme last week. It included the court case and upcoming changes; my diet fails and upset stomach issues; the thoughts by LA that I have some autoimmune disorder that's connected to the Raynauds observation, the random swelling I get, and more; the diet changes that come with that type of diagnosis; the changes I'd make without even having a diagnosis; the upcoming life changes and how they will change the life I'm trying so hard to get back to (ie, weekend training with kids?); and more more more. Money. Food costs. Not seeing family. Upcoming doctor appointments and the symptoms that prompt those appointments. Gluten exposures with kids around.
But on the plus side, I've kept to my sketch-a-day goal, a 2022 decluttering goal of 2022 things (I'm 1/10th way there), and on Thursday I have my talk with Patrick about coaching. Do I need another voice in my head? Or will it instead be a voice of reason that drowns out the other voices?
No M yesterday, after a streak of M. Monday, still no M even with pb.
After a weekend of generalized anxiety, finally I'm back on a schedule with my Monday. I know what I'm doing, and I feel better with that. I missed the weekend's 'long run' so I moved it to today - the goal was 8 miles total running, walking, crawling, falling, whatever. I ran :)
Tuesday I woke up around 335am and couldn't fall back asleep. So what did I do? I didn't want to disturb LA and I wanted to sleep, I tried, but I ended up just THINKING. So I woke up a jumbled-sleepless-overthought mess. This has been all in my head since last Weds, all of the changes that are going to happen. I've known all along changes would happen, so why does it stress me out now? What am I stressed about? See separate post about S-T-R-E-S-S.
I did a one hour elliptical, I was gonna do 30 mins of that and 30 mins of strength. My head wasn't available for that. I had to stay buried in my e-book about new habits and change.
ETA: I called to reschedule my dental surgery evaluation from Mar 2 to Jan 27. I called the vet office and expect them to call back today. I downloaded a budgeting app, but I've yet to even open it. I've blocked off at least 20 mins of time each evening in which I can do anything but chores.
Wednesday I got a late start to the gym, but still got my mere 8 miles in. This time to videos of Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners, and with the trail shoes! I'm happy it seemed to go OK, but I'll wait and see what my feet think about it in 24-36 hours. They already hurt when I wake up or sit too long. I managed to remember to bring the headband and towel for sweat, but then wore the wrong shoes - the old Cascadias! I love those shoes :)
Friday about the same as Wednesday
Sunday was a hotel treadmill run, I wanted my 8 but realized i was pushing my mileage. But I get Monday and Tuesday off, so this was my Monday replacement run. All feels good!! But I need strength training. My rib is getting better and I expect Coach Patrick will encourage it!
