Drink.
Thanks for all the advice on the strained quads (see post below). You guys are better than a real-life doctor! Based on your advice, and my own perception of the injury, I think I will take another rest day today, and try a short run tomorrow and see how the quads feel, and I'll play Soccer Sunday by ear. Although, to be honest, I'm thinking that soccer probably won't happen this Sunday -- I just don't want to strain these quads even more the weekend before a race; I feel as though I must practice caution. I like soccer, and I really want to play, but running is my first priority, so I have to keep that in mind.

In the meantime, I'm gonna sit back with a few frosty brews and watch the hubby make dinner.
Word to ya muthas.
hehe
ReplyDeleteYou know that sticking two fingers up like that means something totally different to us Brits?
Cheeky!
ROFL! I think I'll recover from my race this weekend that way too, Jess. *sigh* You're the best ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs that way I drink? Cause I sure can't run and I sure like to drink.
ReplyDeletewhy not way...darn spell check
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the game. I advise rest but don't practice what I preach.
ReplyDeleteIs that the tell tale sign of potstickers being made (the small bowl of dipping sauce)? If so, I hope you have some leftovers for me. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI say rest and limit the soccer. Come to think of it, skip is Sunday since you will play at the beach on Saturday. That's enough exercise.
Looks like a nice way to wrap up b-day week!
ReplyDeleteLOL - it probably takes away a lot of pain.
ReplyDeleteProbably a good idea to rest some more so you don't injure it further. Soccer can wait a little longer too. Enjoy that din-din!
ReplyDeleteNow that's the way to nurse an injury ;-)
ReplyDeleteDon't have a coronary! ha ha
ReplyDeleteWord.
ReplyDeletePlaying "soccer by ear" (is that like "traveling by boat") - just how many drinks have you had?! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, that's the teacher coming out in me - it made me giggle out loud as I visualized just what that would look like. I should get out more!
Beer always makes everything better! Hope your back to your healthy self soon.
ReplyDeleteyou're such a bad ass.
ReplyDeleteNow I want a Corona.
It's 5:45am.
Such a wise girl. Cute pics. You're such a doll. =) LOVE the red walls.
ReplyDeleteBeer always cures things for me too. Like that 2nd pic, Jess.
ReplyDeleteIf I was on the other side of the pond I would be quite offended lol! That's the English way of flingin' the bird :-D.
ReplyDeleteSame diff'
Enjoy the rest time!
Same to you mate!
ReplyDeleteyou freakin crack me up.
ReplyDeleteI've tried to look at the picture closely. It looked like you didn't put a lime in your beer. (unless I need a magnifying glass!?!) I am now on the way to my fridge to see if I have any Corona left.
