Oh what a beautiful morning!
sigh
I’m FINALLY back in the game! Other than for a couple of coughs now and then, it seems the cold has left my body. Yesterday I started the day with an hour-long session of arm weights and physical therapy exercises, followed by the half-hour ab lab with Perky Polly (I actually was quite perky myself). My cookdate went a bit long yesterday, and since the wind had picked up considerably I decided to put my run off until today.
It’s an absolute glorious morning. The sky is clear and blue, the smell of apple blossoms permeates the air and there’s little to no wind. The best part? I got to run with my darling, who, after taking 5 weeks off from running due to a possible stress fracture in his foot, is now easing his way back in. Even better, he decided that if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em (he’s a total addict now).
I think my IT band even got in on the fun (I’m sure taking several days off due to sickness probably helped).
6 p.m. update — it’s turned into a beautiful afternoon as well. I just got back from my physical therapy appointment and she says I’m done! She still recommends doing my exercises twice a week to maintain the strength, but fortunately they’re no longer a daily routine. Woo hoo!
