With my son's concert being the only interruption thus far in my schedule I was not prepared for today. Besides the wonderful threat of a horrible snow storm coming in and cleaning for some soon to be visiting family I had an incident this morning. While grocery shopping this morning my son who loves to push the cart accidentally ran into my left ankle, ripping a hole in my sock and leaving a red mark across my Achilles tendon. I had hopes once it no longer seemed to bother me that I would be fine on my run/walk of 2 miles today.
Combine the minor irritation to my ankle and the shoveling of some very heavy wet snow prior to my workout; I went down fast. I started off at a nice clip (4 mph), good music to keep pace by, nice even breath. Then the phone rang; had to stop and answer as it was family. My return to the treadmill attempting the same pace did not last long. First my left hip began to hurt radiating down into my butt and up my back, then my left calf, followed by my ankle. In all I managed 1.2 miles in 20 minutes with the last 5 minutes at a slow walking pace desperately hoping that my calf wouldn't freeze up.
Oh Well. There's always tomorrow's workout.
