I let myself get lazy last year, and now I'm paying for it.
I didn't run very much. I got lazy with my diet. I got away from the "food is fuel" mantra.
Now I'm trying to get back in shape and it is depressing. At this time in 2010 I was really getting into shape. Now, 4 years later, I'm struggling.
To make matters worse, a few months ago I twisted my right ankle. It's been on-and-off achy every since. I was able to get it healed to the point where I could run on the treadmill again. Back in March I was at the Grand Canyon and was jogging along some trails. I didn't injure it per se, but the achy feeling return soon thereafter. It subsided a bit, and then on Sunday I went out for a 3 mile run (only my second time out this year and the longest of the year). It felt great, but on Monday the ankle start aching, and it's been pretty bad every since.
I joined a local gym (Planet Fitness). I'm trying to lift weights while the ankle gets better. I'm feeling very impatient though. Recovering from workouts takes longer, and I have less time to spend at the gym when I do work out.
