Not so Perfect

Sunday 11/18/2012

Today was a 5 mile training run.  No problem, right?  That's what I thought until I got to the last mile.  My calf started to seize up and it has been bothering me all day now.  I iced it and took some Ibuprofen but it is still pretty tender.  I hope this is not a sign of a bigger injury.  This will not make me very happy.  I am now laying in bed watching the AMA awards.  I don't think that I have purposely watched the AMA's since I was in high school.  That was a LONG time ago.  It is incredible how much the performers have changed yet how familiar fame is on all of them.  Must a person try that stinking hard to stand out?  It is a little sad to think that people think so little of themselves that they have to make a spectacle out of themselves on national TV jsut to get more attention then their peers.  I am feeling grateful for being among the average.  I do enjoy the "performances" though. 

I am really looking at my food consumption this week and I want to put effort into making healthy choices a bigger priority (except for Thursday of course).  But, it seems that I am not choosing things to energize me or help with muscle recovery as often as I should be.  New focus this week is on food and not so much on training.  I will be running the Turkey Trot on Thursday and I am going to save my energy for that 6.2 miles this week.  Focus on eating whole foods and supplementing properly is my number one priority this week.  More ice on the calf and no high heels to help the calf recover.
