More Rest

| No Comments

So I've had this ongoing, nagging soreness on the outside of my right leg, near my ankle and shin. Usually doesn't hurt necessarily. It's just something I've been able to feel on occasion, where I don't normally feel anything in the same spot on my left leg.

It was too hot and humid to run on Monday, anyway, so I took my workout indoors for an extra spin class. Tuesday I did spin, again, as I've been doing all summer.

And whether it was the half marathon this past Saturday, or the double-dose of spin ,or some other combination of circumstances at work, the little nagging pain made itself much more vocal. I'd iced it last night. Plan on icing it again tonight. And probably tomorrow night, for that matter.

Feels better today than it did yesterday, but I plan on giving myself more rest yet this week. I don't want to miss my long run on Saturday.

A Few Notes

After running two marathons in October 2010 with Team in Training, I've decided to "slack off" with just the one marathon in 2011.

This year will be in memory of Siona Shah, an amazing young girl who spent the final third of her too-short life battling leukemia with courage, grace, humility, and smiles.

It will also be in memory of my step-grandmother, Ruth, who passed away on June 15th after a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (starting with my initial diagnosis while I was studying in England).
