I normally do a long run on Sunday, but with my Achilles tendonitis still not resolved, I was unable to run today.
I tried to go swim, but when I got the the gym, the pool was closed. I did however, manage to get my weight session done, and I did so in much nicer surroundings.
I spent a good deal of time today, setting up our weight room in the basement. We have a rack set up, a bench, a full weightlifting platform and a boxing heavy bag. The room is not part of a finished basement, so we hung flags on the walls to make the room look good. I am really happy with how it turned out.
I am also pleased with my lifting. I have managed to establish a good routine and have consistently lifted twice a week, for a month now. I feel like it’s having a beneficial effect. I say this, because my muscles are always a little fatigued, the day after I lift.
Finally, I think my consistent focus on physiotherapy exercises for my Achilles injury, is starting to pay off. My heel is much less sore today. I am hopeful, that I can recover enough, that next Sunday, will actually be a Run Day.
