Rest-mode

I have pretty much been in rest-mode since the Cool Runners 10k. A week of rest, yoga and stretching had me feeling much better. I honestly thought I was ok. 

Sometime in October last year I had attempted Shawn T's 60 day Insanity program - and failed miserably - and had promised myself I'd give another shot at it at another time. Somehow, (call me stupid) I thought that the "another time" would be now - just as I was recovering from an injury. Two days of crazy intense cardio workout put me right back on square one - injured and limping. 

I've been told that it takes about 4 to 6 weeks for an injury to heal completely. I should be allowing myself that much time before returning to intense cardio activity. Back to doing just yoga, stretches and static weights. Not Happy.
