Week of November 17 (22)

Goals for this week.

1. Improve my mood
2. Continue to rehab my feet
3. What approach do I take medically 
4. Re-evaluate my training plan

Monday

185.2. I'm very frustrated today. My right foot is now hurting and my weight is up every Monday. I think I'll just quit eating and running. Did I do too much too soon? I didn't think so. 

I made an appointment with Dr Caplan but couldn't get in until December 8th. It sucks it couldn't have been sooner. 

Noon session. Precor elliptical 40 minutes, calf press #60 2x15, squats and lunges x 10 each. 

Tuesday

184.8. I stretched and used the tennis/golf ball. 

I went to my GP and saw a nurse practitioner. I think this was a useful appointment. The X-ray didn't show any boney issue. She prescribed an anti inflammatory which I'll start tomorrow. They also drew blood and are setting me up with a new GI doc.
Noon session. AWU with lunges x 10, easy 4 miles TM, hip abduction x 20, step ups x 18, and stretch.
My scar massage this evening was less intense than last week's. It's getting better. Tomorrow I start thirty days of meloxicam.

Wednesday

I was back in my night splint and my feet aren't too bad this morning. I only did stretch and tennis ball. 

Evening strength session. Precor elliptical x 10 minutes, single leg knee drive 2x15, Hammer GB combo #90 3x8, plank 40 seconds, crunches x20, bench reps 7, 5, 2, 1, #135 #155 #180 #190, Free Motion shoulder press #45 3x10, Free Motion calf #90 2x20 and stretch. 

Thursday

I slept OK last night, but I woke up early. I didn't have any foot pain on rising. 

My morning session was stretching and clams, single leg bridge, and bird dogs. 

Noon session. Single leg squat, clams, bird dogs, lunges and leg swings. 4 miles easy. Stretch and step ups. 

Friday

I didn't wear my night splint and I had minimal foot pain this morning. My morning session was stretch and core.
Evening run. AWU, drills, 4 miles easy, and stretch. 

Saturday

Morning run. Foam roll, AWU, 10 miles and stretch. 

Sunday

I spent the day recovering from Saturday's run and going to the football game.
