It feels sooooo good!
Ran 5 miles total, would have been 6 but yesterday I ran out of time and had to cut my run short.
Full body workout over the course of 2 days
And I'm about to go to the gym with my husband to do more stuff
Everything feels so much better... I don't feel like such a pile of crap, I feel calm and happy... Sleeping way better, I'm out within 30 minutes of lying down (makes it hard to watch movies though) and bathroom stuff is back to normal too.
I have also noticed that I feel much better at work. After the initial pain of my injury subsided I was still having pain at work. I do alot of squatting and bending down during at typical day, and any deep squatting was really hard because of reduced range of motion, lots of tightness in my back and hamstrings. This week it's been awesome and I can squat down with no pain. I'm also in a much better mood overall which makes it easier to deal with the occasional asshole customer.
So basically... I'm not sure I did the right thing by waiting so long to run and lift again. I have never had an injury like this before so I thought I was doing the right thing in being cautious and taking my time to heal. But it turns out exercising is actually helping significantly, and doing nothing seemed to make it worse. I'm still having a little bit of pain sometimes but it's so much better than it was.
I'm back at it with almost as much fire and intensity as before. Not lifting super heavy just yet but I'm working just as hard. There is some pudge to be shed off of my body so I'll be adding in some complexes and interval sprints soon.
