Sidelined and frustrated

So it was has been a rough 7 plus days in this house.....last week was pretty stressful from numerous issues that were happening all at once....but those have come and gone for the most part...and this week hopefully starts a new happier week....I am not holding my breath though.....

Currently I am sidelined in training....after a emotional meltdown on saturday after a very painful attempt at running on the treadmill.....I came upstairs to talk to Andrew about it....and looking online with the aid of our good friend google....I need to rest my left leg.....my shoes I was wearing prior to the half were on the verge of being done....mizuno wear down way too quickly in my personal opinion....and they have destroyed 5 of my toes....so I was running in more of a heel strike stride than on the balls of my feet....and I have been running like this prior to the half....and the last couple runs prior to the half, the half itself, and the 4 runs afterwards I feel like I never got in a rhythm or found my stride....so I was compensating for my toes which lead to me not running correctly and hurting my leg in the process.....and the way to fix all this currently is to just rest .......which I am hoping after 7 days will be enough.....and I can resume training for the marathon.....I have replaced my shoes and really hoping switching brands to brooks helps

I have to say right now this is not what I want to be dealing with.....and its extremely frustrating to be sidelined....I am just hoping that 7 days is enough to rest the ligaments and muscles so that they are ready to hop back into rigorous training ahead of them....and I have learned a valuable lesson....trust my gut when I thought my shoes were done 3 weeks ago and replace them earlier....so I am not in this position again!
