Spring Break

This week is the girl's Spring Break and I feel bad because we've only been out of the house to go to church tonight. You see, I hurt my foot running last Friday and have had to stay off of it. I had this bright idea that I would try running (haven't done this since high school volleyball). I'm at a plateau with my weight loss so I thought I'd try something different. I found this program that eases you into running called Couch to 5K (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml). So I thought I'd give it a try. The first week you do a 5 minute warm-up walk--then you start running for 1 minute and then walk a minute and a half. This lasts for 20 minutes and then you do a 5 minute cool-down walk. I did all of this on my treadmill--walked at 4 mph and ran at 5 mph. I had my Walt Disney World map on my treadmill for motivation and my list of when to run/walk. I felt great during the workout and it wan't until after I got off of the treadmill that my foot started to hurt. It is my right foot on the outside of my foot right above my arch. It just feels incredibly sore and it hurts to stand/walk on it. It doesn't hurt when I sit down. It is finally starting to feel better--thank goodness!! It's just incredibly frustrating!! I took the time to go to Breakaway Running, had them analyze my feet on a computer, and fit me into some new running shoes before I even started the program. Then on the 2nd day of doing it, I hurt myself! I don't think I'm going to try running again--at least not until we get back from Disney World in May. I don't want to run the risk of hurting my foot any worse. I have to be able to walk around Disney World. Ugggh!!
