Thinkin' I am so mad at myself right now! I can't believe how stupid I was today! A few factors have played into this injury and after reading through Kim's talk today, (thanks, Bill!) I know I needed to hear every word she had to say.
1. I have had a stomach thing going on for a few days, but still got up and ran on Thursday and again today.
2. I slept about 2 hours last night. I had no business running today, but I didn't feel tired and figured I could take a nap later in the day if I needed to.
3. I felt a slight twinge early in the run which I chose to ignore and thought I could run through. If fact, I did think I ran through it because it didn't bother me at all after the 2nd mile until I got off the hills at 7 miles.
So, I probably could have prevented this mess if I had only listened to my body. But I didn't. And now, who knows if this muscle pain is a big injury or a little one that will only need a few days of rest. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Another thing I was thinking about... How many of us that are running on either the Battling Bloggers team or the Texian Road Warriors are going to be running the Ten for Texas? I am betting there will be several of us and perhaps we can all get together for a quick hello either before or after the race. Any takers?
Off to practice some more RICE...
A record of my endeavors to stay healthy so that I can live long enough to see my great-grandchildren, and to prove to the world that there was a reason for my madness...

Don't be too hard on yourself. Remember, we learn from times like this.
Rest...Ok, let me re-phrase that because in my mind...Moms never truly rest...stay off of your leg.
PS. The toenail-most likely you were running more on your toes during your track workout on Tuesday. This change in form could be enough to bruise the toenail.

Oh no! I sure hope it's nothing serious. It's so hard to tell when something is minor, or if it's going to turn into a problem.
Did you get to go to the game?
K - Hope you're feeling better today. I share your frustration; try to stay positive.
