I woke up this morning feeling awesome after my first run/walk yesterday. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING hurt. I didn't even have any tightness which I was half expecting. I had been given a fairly big hurdle and I overcame it. My persistence in taking it so very slow has paid off and I cannot wait to get back into it. The feeling I got after yesterdays run was "too much" for words. I remember saying to Susan yesterday that most people would have given up by now with everything that I have gone through in the last year, but I have come way too far to give up.
I am consistent with my stretches, even thought they still hurt like crazy. I religiously take my Neway's supplements because I know they are helping me with my energy and muscle repair. I try with all my might to maintain a positive frame of mind and look at every obstacle that I overcome as nothing more than that "an obstacle". It does not define who I am or what will be instore for me in the future.
Exercising everyday is my life and now that I can mix it up again and get back into my proper training I will do so with so much excitement but also with a little bit more restraint. And no two consecutive days of running or cycling. Atleast for now.
So today I cycled on the trainer and felt great. I didn't go hard and I increased the time by another 10 minutes. So I rode for 40minutes and did 15.3km. Nice and easy and it felt good. The last 2 days have been awesome.

Glad you are feeling so good. Do you have anything to look at there while on the trainer? It's hard to tell and I can't imagine making it through a trainer session with nothing to occupy my mind!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm watching a "Elizabeth" on my portable DVD which is on the window sill. Cant believe how good my leg feels.
ReplyDeleteThat picture looked like you were in trouble and had to sit facing the wall as a punishment, then I noticed the DVD player.
ReplyDeletegreat to hear that chapter is now closed!
ReplyDeleteThat's excellent, great to see you back to training pain free.
ReplyDeleteA lesson for us all there!
Eoin
what Eoin said!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat’s great news! Being patient always pays off in the end. Good luck and enjoy your training!
ReplyDeletegood to see you back at it. and the obligatory 'you're seats too low' ;)
ReplyDeleteBDD: no naughty girl here. :)
ReplyDeleteSkierz: oh me too. But nice and steady is my motto now.
Eoin & Sandi: thanks guys. I am happy to be back at it.
Johann: It sure is. Patience was not one of my strong points but I have learnt a major lesson.
Joe: When I first bought the bike I got it fitted perfectly but after I got the groin injury and the ischial gluteal tendonosis I lowered it cause it hurt less. I guess it's time to put it back up. Thanks for reminding me :)
