Whelp, as you may have seen if you follow me on Instagram, I got some bad news this weekend.
I haven't mentioned it a ton, but ever since I ran the Chardonnay 10-miler in April, my achilles have been hurting and the place where the tendon meets my heels has been swollen. I mean really swollen. The bf sweetly calls it my "gross foot tumors.
For a long time it only bothered me when I ran, so I cut back on running. But then I started to have pain after other activities. And taking a whole 3-weeks off from high impact activities during my work trip didn't help at all.
So I finally went to the doctor on Friday and found out I have achilles tendinitis and am not supposed to do ANYTHING for AT LEAST 6 weeks! Not even low-impact things like lower-body weight lifting or taking a 30-minute walk. Not sure cut out ALL activity, but I'm trying to follow instructions as much as possible. Although I did play an all-day volleyball tournament on Saturday. #dietstartsnextweek
I'm pretty bummed since I've been trying really hard to be consistent with my workouts. I also realized just how much time I spend on fitness and that I don't really have much sociial interaction outside of volleyball here. Need to find some new non-physical hobbies ASAP. Wish me luck!
Q: What's your favorite non-physical social activity? How do you keep from going crazy during injury recovery??
SIX WEEKS??? ahhh stressful! can you do yoga?
ReplyDeleteAt least now you have plenty of time to drink wine and try some new recipes? that's what I would do with extra time!
Haha yes we totally think alike! I'm a little worried about having so much extra time to eat and not work out. I can do yoga so I plan to do a lot lol.
Deletefind a knitting group. :) i know it sucks, but you don't want to be out longer with a WORSE injury. love you. <3
ReplyDeleteHaha I haven't knit in forever good idea. Thanks hun! <3
DeleteOh no, I'm sorry to hear that :( but recovering and preventing further I jury's important. Maybe a book club?
ReplyDeleteOh yes book club sounds great! Maybe I can start one thanks for the suggestion :)
DeleteI somehow missed this on Instagram. I was reading your #wowlinkup post and realized you're injured. Ugh. So sorry. I know how frustrating it can be. But it sounds like you have a good plan with upper body! I think that's a good way to look at injury - a chance to work on something you've been putting off.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michele! Trying to keep it in perspective. I'm so impatient though lol :)
DeleteAw I am so sorry to hear about your injury! It's tough, but you'll make it! The good thing is you have your blog so you have a place to either vent and/or receive tons of support! Make sure you continue to eat well, and I'm sure you'll bounce back soon!
