relax?

August 15, 2011 CGR 7 comments
this weekend the unexpected happened on sunday. my dog and i go out daily for an early morning run or walk  together. when walking downhill i twisted my foot and injured myself. sounds silly i know but i have the worst of luck with this foot. sad to say that my weekend was spent in recovering from this injury, welcoming 5 days of relaxing recommended by the Dr. i’ve gone through two other foot injuries on the same foot and now made it my third. i call it my silly foot. of all the walking, running, and riding i do, why this incident? it was so silly, a bad step downhill turned into a swollen and bruised tendon. luckily it wasn’t fractured or broken. i haven’t tried cycling but i doubt i’ll be able to until it is healed. i’m going to put the blog down for the rest of the week and live through you all. i hope you all have a great week and some fun stories for me cause i’ll be reading until my eyes fall out.
xoxo
