I find it frustrating and repulsive that I'm barely walking a week before Secret City. BUT, I refuse to stop *Belieeev'n!* My legs from my toes to mid-calf feel like they are on FIIRE. This weekend, I had the luxury of icing my feet 2-3 times a day. Today, not so much. Couldn't this morning - had to rush off to work. Though I did stop to consider wrapping my ice packs around my feet on my long drive to work. But I realized that if I did that, I wouldn't have cold ice packs to use tonight. So I deferred my ice packs until tonight.
I don't have a freezer at the office, so no ice during the day either. My feet of fire were sooo glad to finally hit the couch this evening. I haven't been able to ice or rest my feet as much as I would like (though I totally had my legs sprawled out on top of my desk today the few minutes I was sitting down).
Today, I wore my necklace from the one full-marathon I ran in college. Instead of medals, the finishers got a Tiffany's silver necklace that says "The Nike 26.2 FINISHER." They had little men dressed in coat tails passing them out at the finish line off of silver platters. True story. I put it on to remind myself that sometimes the seemingly unachievable is absolutely achievable. I plan to wear it all week as a reminder.
And on to the next day.....
Yep...we thought it couldn't be done...and we did it. I'm proud of you for sticking with this and can't wait to see you Saturday. Walk, run, crawl...we will conquer this half!!
