Well, here I am, lying on the sofa with an ice pack on my right shin, foot high up on a couple of pillows, following the golden rule of r.i.c.e (rest, ice, compression, elevation.... ok, technically, I have not compressed it... but you get the point...) and watching "My best friend's wedding" on TV... kind of pathetic... I know... as I knew I walked a lot yesterday... I knew also for quite a while that I need to buy new sneakers, I mean, for someone who spends such a high percentage of my salary on shoes, I have no excuse walking around in my 8-year-old, worn out trainers which do not support my feet anymore...
But, in spite of all the knowledge, I did walk a lot, I did admittedly have immense fun doing so, I did it in my wrecked sneakers and I do now have what apparently is called "shin soreness"... And it is a challenge to actually locate the bright side of the situation and share it with you... arguing on top of it that looking at it is better than shoes...
Hmmm... let's see... well, I will have to go shoe-shopping... which is good... and I did manage not to give up and run all the errands after work though my foot hurt as f*** and walking, and driving, was an ordeal... So, yeah, that's it! That's the bright side! Mind over matter, will over pain! Surely there is nothing seriously wrong with me, I only need to rest a bit and use all the ice I had in my freezer, but it does feel damn good to find out I am a strong, exercising woman, dealing with injuries in mature way and not such a cry-baby after all! And that's better than shoes! Yeah! Go me! ...literally, got to go take of the ice pack now... ;)
