WhoGAF and Running

Last night, despite still being quite stiff, I decided to go for my walk to try and work out the stiffness from my fall.  It didn't take long to start feeling better so I decided to give running a go.  My previous best - 3 week ago - was 3 minutes and 20 seconds.  Can I just say...

FIVE MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so the last 2 minutes were more of a shuffle, but I kept it up and kept going.  About 2 minutes in and the oval started to fill with young footballers.  Not lovely sexy young 20-something footballers, mid-teen footballers.  I was instantly embarrassed and wanted to stop then I thought - WhoGAF!!!!!!!!!!  So I kept going.

By the time I finished the 5 minutes there were footballs flying everywhere and it was time to leave the oval.  I started walking on the footpath.  I wasn't planning on trying another run but I felt okay after a little while so wanted to go again.  But I was on the footpath and there were cars and people everywhere, and once again I was instantly embarrassed.  But - WhoGAF!!!!!!  Off I went.  Only another 2 minutes as I was feeling Monday nights fall.  Time to walk it out. 

I tried my newfangled super dooper new ankle braces.  Used them for the run, rode home in them then left them on for a couple for hours after.  And today - NO FOOT PAIN!!!!!!  YAY!   They work!  I am very pleased that I didn't waste the $50 they cost. :o)

This morning I went to the pool to try and work out the last of the stiffness.  I didn't swim swim, I did some kickboard, some breaststroke, some walking and some running on the spot in the deep end (the deep end is only 120cm).  Now I am sitting at work eating my oats with rice milk. YUM!

Daily Goals (I wrote these last night so the swimming is already done)
1)  Drink 6 glasses of water
2)  Stick to calories
3)  Don't eat junk at class
4)  Go swimming in the morning
5)  Be brave and share a story in class tonight
