Missed a workout

Last Saturday, I skipped my training session.

I guess it was a combination of...

-going to bed too late (2:30am- because my husband was gone to Father's & Son's Outing, I was helping Taylor get ready for his Day Date for Prom and I was winding down from watching my mother-in-law who has Alzheimer's)

-no one to watch Emily while I went (Taylor was on his Day Date and the rest to Father's & Sons)

-an achey achilles tendon and achey shin on the other leg

-mad that the training program didn't keep me from these injuries (I thought if I cautiously followed it and didn't over do it, I would be able to avoid problems) 

-decided missing 2 sessions out of a 13 week program would be OK ( since it wasn't faithful to me, I didn't have to be faithful to it- how silly is that!)

But I did walk a 1/2 mile to and from the church to donate blood!
That's as good as a workout right!  Ha!

  1. Yikes - I don't remember the last time I saw the clock say 2:30 a.m. I'm so wiped out at the end of the day, I'm falling asleep on the couch around 9:30ish. Sounds like you picked a good time to skip a run - you definitely needed the rest.

  2. Can't run after donating blood anyway! :) Especially after a crazy day like that!

  3. I had to miss my saturday run too, because I was pushing a handcart. And I have to miss this next Saturday too. 2 long weekend runs. I hate missing because now I have to decide- can I pick--up where I left off, or do I have to go back to lower mileage, and work up again? I always like to be cautious to avoid injury, but do we really have to start over every time???
