T.G.I.F.

TGIF!..Always nice to have a short week. Did x-training at the gym last night. I decided not switch ellips like Annette suggested. I figured that w/ me switching up the resistance every few mins or so along w/ my tunes is enough to keep busy for a while. But I will definitely keep that in the back of my head whenever I do get bored w/ it altogether.

I've got my 5mile tempo run today followed by lower body weight training. Hopefully I can stay on the ball this time. But we'll see.

Injury update: The topical cream(it's an anti-inflammatory drug) that was prescribed to me did not help the pain. In fact I think that it caused me more stiffness! Even though both the doc & the pharmacist said that's not possible,my doc wants me to stop using it. She did have me increase the stretching exercises she has me doing(I was doing them 1x/day..now I am up to 3x/day) as well as icing more often throughout the day. I am not feeling the stiff pain in my left ankle that I was a few days ago when I was using the cream. Also no pain in my Achilles tendon when I walk down a flight of stairs. I think the increase stretching is helping w/ that.

The wedges still have not come in even though the doc ordered them last Fri. Because the doc said that the wedge doesn't work for everybody & I may still need physical therapy,I've decided not to get the wedges when they come in & just do the physical therapy. I pray that this will help my injury.

Everyone have a good Fri. & catch ya later!
