5 mins elliptical, lateral "squat" walks with 150 lb bungee cord around my waist, Heel raises (2x5, alternating focusing on eccentric lowering on each leg- basically shifting my weight to one side while lowering from the double feet heel raise), 3 x 12 backward step-ups with 75 lb bungee cord, Baps Board 2 x 15, all 4 directions, manual therapy-calves
HW: Work on progressing heel raises by doing the eccentric lowering drill (This should prepare me for doing single leg heel raises), work on rolling out calves.

Mini Meltdown
Since my therapy schedule is messed up, this appointment was on a Wednesday, one of my toughest days of the week at work. Also, my therapist let me out of therapy a little later than usual, so I had to rush to work.
As soon as I got to work, I had 15 mins to change my clothes and get my stuff ready for class. I then taught for 2 straight hours, into a 2 hour event for the club that I am the faculty advisor for, straight into office hours. Of course, of all days, this was the day that I had a steady stream of students coming in to see me. I finally was able to eat my lunch around 2:45 pm. I was so drained by that point that I was lightheaded. I am not kidding when I say that I felt so bad that I wanted to die. But duty calls. After, I forced myself to work until 5:30 pm, then went home and crashed.

Reflection
Just one of those days. Rough. Just one of those unavoidable days. I am managing a lot on my plate at the moment from my job standpoint already, then add this recovery saga on top of it. Phew!!! I am tired.
I wish changing shoes could solve my problems...
