Taking A Break

So over the past few weeks I have been training pretty hard for my half marathon. I run about 5 or 6 days a week and also do weights and and extreme fitness class. Thursday of last week I was at my fitness class and went to do jumping jacks and was almost brought to my knees from pain in my right foot!!! Felt like a cramp so I stretched it out and just sort of took it easy the rest or the class. It was a little tight Friday so I took that day off from training then went for a short run with Emily Saturday morning. My foot felt fine, until I decided to go to Anthony's fitness class. The same thing happened this time, pain from doing jumping jacks!! UGH!! Really!? I came home and iced my foot and it felt sooooo much better so..... Sunday my dumb butt went for my 6 mile run with Bethany at Shelby Farms. Needless to say after that run I could not put weight on my foot. Smart I know :) SO after some research on the computer, I think I have achilles tendonitis!! Nothing to serious if i take time to let it heal. I guess I have just over done it with increasing my miles and running hills my foot was like "I am done doing this for now. I want a break" So I have listened to my foot and have been icing and elevating it. Can you say BORING!!!! I am ready to get back to working out :) Sounds weird I know. But I guess on a positive note, I feels so much better.
