This week was a little disappointing as far as the foot goes.\u00a0 It had felt really good for a few days and then started hurting again.\u00a0 I had hoped to run on it at least once this weekend and start back up.\u00a0 I kept putting it off since it had started hurting.\u00a0 I have been wearing my strassburg sock<\/a> still at night.<\/p>\n

We had a great Thanksgiving with friends and my sister.\u00a0 I didn’t eat tooo much.\u00a0 We also pulled out our Wii and starting using it again, including playing with the Wii Fit Plus<\/a>.\u00a0 Which adds some more games and fun with a “calorie burning edge” to it!<\/p>\n

On Sunday I had some downtime because Christy was called into work again so I decided to stop putting it off and hit the gym.<\/p>\n

I thought if I could get the first time out of the way I might be able to get into the habit of it.\u00a0 We shall see.\u00a0 I brought my swim suit, but did some weights – using every machine available so a fairly well\u00a0 rounded workout. A lot of shoulder and upper body and then legs and hips.\u00a0 I did a warm-up jog around the YWCA’s 1\/6 mile indoor track.\u00a0 I did 2 laps at an easy pace and it wasn’t pain free. I didn’t have lingering pain but very frustrating.\u00a0\u00a0 After lifting I did the elliptical machine for 15 minutes.\u00a0 I’m not a huge fan of the elliptical<\/a> but I knew that it wouldn’t have any impact on my foot.<\/p>\n

So it looks like I’ll be cross-training for a few more weeks, bummer. It has been really frustrating though since the weather has been perfect for running and the group runs have been on my favorite trails.<\/p>\n

Past Highlights<\/strong> include a look back at the inventor of Gatorade<\/a> and honoring his passing. Also a guest review of the Harpeth Hills Flying Marathon<\/a> and the Drumstick Dash<\/a> in Indianapolis.\u00a0 Next was a look at the 2nd training cycle<\/a> from 2007 – for the Bears of the Blue River 10k<\/a>.\u00a0 Last year I wrote about spirituality and running<\/a>.\u00a0 Foto Friday<\/a> was of snow covered leaves.<\/p>\n
