One of those moments

I had one of those moments yesterday when I just look in the mirror and absolutely critise everything about myself that I wish I could change about my body. After that I felt down in the dumps so to speak and just felt miserable. Why do we do this?? Thank goodness today is a new day and don't feel so bad about myself today. The best thing is to take each day at a time. We all have good days and bad days.

Well my leg has still been very sore and i'm starting to get anxious as the half marathon is only 9 weeks away and I have not run for 3 weeks tomorrow. I really just want to get out there and run. I have been riding (this doesn't hurt my muscle) and have started walking everyday. It is when I stride out that I get my pain so by walking fast I am building up the muscle I tore without putting too much strain on it. My physio (and collegue) has told me not to push it and I am trying so hard to take his advice coz I don't want to make it worse. I tried to run yesterday during my walk but I was nearly in tears after about 30 seconds. That is when I pulled the plug as if I continued I knew I would do more damage. I went for an hours walk tonight and going walking with a girlfriend tomorrow morning and a ride and upper body weights tomorrow. I do know it is improving but too slowly for my liking. I feel like all my leg muscles are sooo tight, like Ineed to put them on a stretching machine for a few days. I think I am going to start pilates again to help regain some flexibility. I always feel more 'stretched' after doing a class.

I can't believe it is already wednesday night- this week is flying by. Hope you are all having a great rest of the week and i'll write again over the weekend

Love Amy
