I know I previously wrote about my effort to go to the gym but I am going to mention once again in this blog. Last week I was so prepared as to have the week planned out with my friend to go jogging two to three times after work around the middle school we work at. Well, Thursday night I slipped on the drain in my shower as I was entering. The drain is not attached and so ended up grazing the PVC pipe. As a result, I scraped away soome dead skin on the ball of my foot, leaving the area raw and painful.
To be honest, the first thing I thought to myself was that I would not be able to wear high-heeled shoes. Following that thought, was the disappointment of not being able to go running.
This past week has been difficult for me. It took me longer to complete tasks that are normally done so quickly like walking up and down the staircase to make copies at work, circling the classroom to make sure my students are on task, putting my (flat) shoes on and putting more weight and pressure on one side as I walked.
Finall, I am back to normal. Tomorrow I will finally begin my routine of jogging and hopefully slip into a pair of pretty shoes!

Ouch! That does sound like it hurt... a whole lot! I'm not much of a runner but I used to be. As with any routine, once you have to step out of it for even a day or two it's always disappointing. It's nice to hear you're feeling better though. Hopefully it won't be so hard to get back into the routine of running. I know for me, sometimes getting back into routine- especially exercise - can be difficult. Good Luck!
