So, I hate to admit defeat with the Couch To 5k. I can’t do it. Not because of my ability but because it causes a lot of pain.
I thought the pain was because it was something new, and the pain would get better with time. However, three weeks in and my ankle and calf hurt so much with each run. It’s annoying, very disappointing and I can’t understand it. It’s all my right side, always in agony no matter how I warm up and stretch.
So, I do still keep going, my sister is still getting through it and I am SO PROUD of her for doing it. I work through cheer stuff instead. I get some mats, I work though the things I’m bad at with cheer, working on my own skills. With cheerleading, I know my body’s abilities and adaptations, I know what hurts and what I’m capable of doing, so I can avoid most of the pain I get, even though my knees are quite fragile so they get slight pain no matter what I do.
Today, my work out was pants. My body was exhausted from last night’s cheer workout. My legs felt heavy, cartwheels weren’t happening. I was tired so the workout was awful.
After the exercise, me and T watched some TV before I had to go to work. Work was alright, wasn’t too busy, didn’t have much to do, but the things I did have to do, were lengthy.
I’ve come home from work, had a bath and some food and watching more TV.
THREE POSITIVES FROM TODAY:
1. I treated myself to a McDonald’s
2. I scare pranked B
3. My mood has been good today
