I've spent the week taking some difficult, but necessary, rest - sitting, icing, stretching, hobbling around once in a while to make a cup of coffee. It's hard passing on hikes and runs, but I've been trying to make the best of my time off. I painted my dead toenails, massaged sore muscles, wrapped and elevated my foot while reading articles about running, recovery, and shoe reviews.
The colors are changing, temperatures are dropping (just a little bit over night), and I am dying to get back to the trails. Summer temperatures have returned today, and I am sitting in the vineyard thinking about running and debating if I can manage a light hike this weekend. For now, a short walk, and a nap in the vineyard will have to do.
