Exactly 10 days ago, I rolled my right foot stepping off a curb. It didn't swell as I expected it to and within a few days, it didn't hurt much at all. Four days later I went for a 2.5 mile run in my hood and it felt a little sore after that so I stayed off of it for the rest of the week. One week later, on Saturday, it felt alright, so I decided to complete the shortest route of 5 miles that was open for our running group. Again, I finished feeling OK, not great, but OK.
LQ & I spent a beautifully fine day with my oldest daughter in Austin and went hiking along one of the greenbelts. :)
We had a great day together - hiking, eating, swimming & even got to watch a movie at her apartment. LQ and I got home pretty late but very blessed that we made the trip. F was a spectacular hostess <3

I woke up Sunday morning and my right foot was not doing the happy dance! The greenbelt was a very rocky trail. My foot hurt. A.Lot! I seriously need to rest it. One week was not enough. I've got a pretty busy marathon/half-marathon calendar for the Fall/Winter season and I would hate to miss any of it :( First marathon is in 12 weeks...
So, for the next 2-4 weeks, I am going to rest my foot. I will commit to a swim, bike and yoga schedule at the gym and resist the urge to put these asphalt-kickers on my feet...

"I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay."
I must rest and trust that this desire to run marathons and half-marathons will not go unfulfilled. This is not only a physical activity for me but an opportunity to show what He has physically done in me.
I will rest...
