Tonight was my first night back to running, well run/walk. It was tough, the numbness in my leg worsened sooner than I expected, and it tired fairly quickly. But, I didn’t give up; I didn’t fall short of how far we were running. I became winded fairly quickly, which didn’t surprise me, the good thing about that, is I know that will improve with each run. The best part was that I felt good about doing it; ya it wasn’t comfortable but I finished what we set out to do. I’m excited that I started and I’m even more excited to be doing this with a couple for great supportive ladies.
When I came in from my run, TJ almost had dinner ready. We sat down to eat and I could feel everything begin to tighten. It actually made me nervous. I headed upstairs after I cleaned up from dinner and grabbed the lacrosse ball and foam roller. I spent close to 45 minutes rolling; from the top of my back down to my ankles then from my hip flexors down. It felt great, I am so relaxed right now, and I could just fall asleep J
I was very excited to hear from the doctor I’ve been working with today. We are ready to move forward and start with my supplements; I’m curious to see what we are starting with and how this entire process will work. I’m hoping I can get in and see him this week.
My eating is still going well. It’s such a great feeling to be able to say this again. I feel good, I’m happy; things are becoming more balanced every day. I’m excited about my workouts; my fear of rein jury is diminishing. I hate that I’ve had so many setbacks during the past few years; I could have reached my goal a long time ago. But it’s a huge accomplishment for me that I am still going. I’ve been able to recover and move forward every time. Sometimes the accomplishments for me aren’t always about what’s shown on the scale or how my clothes fit; it’s the fact that I can pick up the pieces and move forward…which is something I’ve always struggled with.
