You know it's bad when it bruises almost immediately.
I was in the middle of a 50-slide set when I slipped a little, so I stepped off the board to regroup. Stepped back on and BAM. Down I went, whacking my hand, elbow, and the back of my head. After deciding that nothing was broken, I got up and finished the set, verrrry carefully. I am beginning to think that exercise is actually bad for my health and well-being...first the calf tear and then the slidey fall. I'm not even going to ask what's next - I hope this is the end of me hurting myself while trying to get fit.
Despite the injuries, I am enjoying my group and my workouts. And I do think it's making a difference in my body shape as my clothes are hanging a little looser on me plus my hairdresser, who saw me a month ago and then again on Friday, complimented me on looking smaller, so yay.

I finally have some running to report! Diane and I ran last Thursday, and then again on Saturday, and again yesterday - woohoo! I wore my new OG Hoka Cliftons on Saturday and they felt as good as I remembered. I'm sure the combination of the new shoes plus some good running weather (it was 54 degrees when we started) contributed to what ended up being my longest run in over four months. I ran 4.5 miles, and I haven't run that far since my birthday run last June.
The run went well; I'm very slowly getting back some running ability. I was running with Diane, who had 7 miles on her schedule, and I'd planned on turning around at one point so that I'd hit 4 miles when I got back to the clubhouse but I misjudged where to turn so I stopped at 4.5 miles and walked another quarter mile back, which was a good cool down. My calf didn't bother me during the run but I did start scuffing my left foot around the 4 mile mark, so I think it's still not as strong as it could be, but hey - this is progress and I'll take it!

One last thing - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my running buddy Diane! She's a Halloween baby and loves everything about it:
From last year's Haunted 5K - we couldn't find a Halloween race this year but next year we'll have to make it happen again!
