It's only been a week, I know, but I hope to blog more often than I have the last month or so. Life gets crazy and this training schedule of mine keeps me busy every minute of the day it seems.
I had a minor setback last week that only allowed me to workout once! Last Sunday, I did a 4.1 mile workout and felt pretty good. Tuesday I had to go in for a minor medical procedure (don't panic blog fans, it was no biggie and everything turned out fine) but I was left with about 15 stitches in two different places...and that is SO not conducive for working out! So, I took it easy Tuesday through Sunday and let myself heal. Sunday afternoon I headed to the gym thinking I had lost everything I had trained for and felt doomed to start over. But I had a great 2 mile "intro back into running" workout and it totally put my mind at ease that my body didn't forget what it's taken 6 months to learn!
Today around lunchtime I went in to have my stitches removed and everything went great. I was so pumped about going to jog after work and so excited that my body was back to normal and healed and able to run. I changed my clothes and just as the positive thoughts flowed through my mind, I went to pick up my gym back and pop! I heard the pop ring through my head internally and then felt the weird feeling. The feeling of a wound being open that was not supposed to be open. And boy was it open.
So, here I am, at home blogging about the whole thing instead of being at the gym working out like I need to be. A coworker told me there was no way I could go do a workout...the risk of sweating and getting all that bacteria in an open wound was the worst thing I could do. All that's left to do is wait to call the doc in the morning. Thankfully there's no blood involved, so I guess I've healed to a certain point.
Ew, this is getting gross. In happier running4landon news, I'm just now starting to get the word out about my site. I have emails and letters yet to send, candy and pens yet to give out, advertising yet to do and it's all going to keep me busy for a while. But, the most fun thing I'd have to say are the CAR DECALS which I couldn't wait to get on the vehicles! I've never had a personalized decal before:
Look, a big one for the big car...
...and a little one for the little car!Yes, I get way too excited about things like this, but it's the little things that are exciting and fun!
More to come soon!
More to come soon!
