Anxious

It has been just over 3 weeks since my I got my stress fracture. For a while there I really didn't think it was going to get better. I could barely walk on it for a good two weeks. It hurt. Bad. Now I can walk on it fairly well. Occasionally, I will get a shooting pain if I move it the wrong way or it will ache if I wear the wrong shoes and my foot gets squeezed into them. But it feels better. I am just sooooo wanting to get back on the treadmill. I feel worthless, like I can't really do anything and I know that is absolutely false. I could go over to the fitness center (which I have a lifetime membership and Ben reminds me alllll the time) and ride a bike or go on an elliptical, but I just have to say, I don't want to go through the hassle. Laziness on my part? Probably. I am just one who likes to work out at home. Well, I came to the conclusion that I was wearing the wrong shoe after talking to Metro Run and Walk. I purchased my original running shoes there years ago and when it was time for a new pair, I went for a pair of Saucony's from Dicks...yes, they were Saucony's (like my original pair) but they were just not the right shoe for my foot. Lesson learned, several times over. Went to Metro Run and Walk yesterday to make myself feel better and talked to them. They didn't have my size in an upgraded pair of my original Saucony's but they put me into the same type...Adidas this time. I tried a different pair of Saucony's which were more expensive than the ones I could have upgraded to but they just didn't feel right. So she brought me the Addidas SNova Glide. I was skeptical at first, but they felt good on my foot and went for it. The actual test will be when I get back on the treadmill so we will see, but for now, I feel like I am getting ready, like I am going uphill to being able to run again and I got the correct shoes this time. That's what matters. Just a couple/few more weeks to go...
