I love Mondays! I usually get my best workouts on Mondays. Generally I rest Saturday and Sunday so I'm ready to go on Monday! Today was no exception. I felt great. This morning I did a 10 minute fast run, I went about 1.35 miles (can't remember exactly) then I lifted. I focused on legs and shoulders today. But I know I was pushing myself...I started getting sore while I was lifting...that's always fun :) On my way home from work I stopped by Uptown bikes (I love them, so friendly and helpful) I discovered that you need a special adapter for an air compressor to fill up road bike tires. At least I think that's what I got, I'm learning as I go. Anyway, it worked. I filled my tires up on my awesome bike and then I went for a ride. I did 15 miles in about 55 minutes...I know, I need to improve that time. Then I ran another 2.5 miles.
However, the problem is I have a Morton's neuroma...which in English mean I have an enlarged nerve in my foot and it hurts like hell. I have noticed that it is especially painful when I get off my bike and try to run. I don't exactly know how to describe how painful it is. I guess I would say it kinda feels like a scorching hot needle is going through my 2nd and 3rd toe every time I put my weight on it.
About 8 months ago I went to see a podiatrist about this pesky problem. She made me costume orthopaedics which work wonderfully on a day to day basis but this biking/running thing is gonna kill me. My next option would be to get this nerve surgically removed which is kinda hard to do for a girl who is currently uninsured (thank you America for not providing health care) I managed to run through the pain and it eventually got a git more bearable after the first mile. All in all I was pretty happy with my workout and am excited to see how I feel tomorrow.
Thank you for finally being warm enough to play outside!!
