Today’s Run:  50 min lifting at the “Y”

Today is Wednesday and that means off to the “Y” first thing in the morning.  I really enjoy going to the “Y”.  The people there are great!  There is genuine camaraderie.  We look out for each other and help each other out.

So, today I was doing my thing.  I was not maxing out on the bench press (that is a Monday thing) but just doing plain ol’ lifting.  There was a lot of encouragement from the room (I think that is because you do not often see a woman doing heavy lifting) and we were all having a good time.  I moved on from the bench press to “skull crushers”.  That is when it happened.

I was loading the bar and dropped a 10 pound plate on my left foot!  OUCH!!!  Now, I want you to remember that this is the Young Men’s Christian Association~no strong language allowed or you are dismissed!  So, I sang a little song and danced a little dance and they all commiserated with me.  All better?  Not really.

When I returned home, my husband took me to the hospital, got an x-ray on my foot (which is not broken, yeah!) and came back home.  Busy day.  So now I will gimp for a few days and get back to my regular routine of running one day and lifting the next.
