The BEAST Has Returned

For all of you that don't know, back in January I somehow managed

to give myself a stress fracture in my right foot along with tendonitis

from exercising on the treadmill...imagine trying to take better care

of yourself and instead you hurt yourself..who knew??? It seems I

walk/run funny on my right foot when I am on the treadmill (or so

that's what my podiatrist tells me)...to make a long story short two

weeks in the boot turned into 2 1/2 months with no exercising.

Everytime I would try to get back on the treadmill at no incline and

very slooooooooow speed, my foot would be in so much pain, I had to

get off...this went on for a month before I just decided to give up. Two

weeks ago (after not trying since April) I decided to give it another shot,

and although it still hurts some, but not nearly as bad, I'm trying to stick

it out and only do the treadmill every other day at yet another very

slooooooow speed and no incline...I'm hoping to "bump" it up a little in

the coming months....anyway, I bought myself a new pair of shoes

and I'm back on the BEAST in the storage room (YIKES) and hopefully

back to being in better shape.
