I think the detox worked, in a fashion.
The running, it is back on. I switched back to a new pair of Beasts to completely rule out shoes as the cause of my injury, and so far there is no pain. I’m not even as far off of my cardiovascular peak as I expected to be – two runs in, and I’m not gasping, not even during the hills.
And Weight Watchers feels right again. I’ve got to do a better job of remembering to log things as they are eaten (as opposed to before the next meal), but otherwise the habit of logging food is coming back naturally.
As expected, I did not run in the Superhero Half Marathon last weekend. I was am bummed about that, but it is time to move forward. After much deliberation, I decided I can’t let the streak end … so I’m signed up for a 5K on Monday, Memorial Day.
Two days. Two days is all it has been. But these two days feel like the last time things got good.
I’m glad that you are back to pain-free running…………..and that you found a replacement race!
