Here it is, early on a Friday morning. Kids are sleeping, husband is at work already. Perfect time to get a workout in, maybe even a run on the treadmill. Right? And yet here I sit at the computer about to work on a project for my #accounting job and mad. Mad may not be the right word, frustrated, scared, sad, upset, all of the above. Ever since the "accident" in January I feel like I can't get into a good routine.
Let me explain. While I have been cleared by the doctors to run, and I do run it isn't the same. Running is important to me and my sanity yes. But when I started Marathon training, really back in March of 2015 when I started the 21 Day Fix Extreme, cross training became important as well. When I didn't feel like hitting the treadmill and wanted to exercise I would pop in a video. I know have a pretty good library to chose from and there is always Beach Body on Demand with tons of options. Variety when needed or a set program if I was on one. I was starting to see stomach muscles! I was feeling great and ready to take on the next 26.2 in June. Then BAM! Out of no where I get rear-ended and everything changes. Between Dr appt for myself and my daughter, worrying about the long term affects her #concussion may have. I am at my wits end. Then to top it off, I can't really do my home workouts because I don't want to do anything to my back. I am at this point beyond over it!
I will say the massage therapy from Fix Body Group is/has helped tremendously but now I am nervous to try anything for fear it will bring back the pain. So here is the question of the day, when you are injured and have to find new methods for exercise and stress relief, what do you do? Comment below with your ideas! I need some help please!!
Swim. But I hear ya, I'm so over being injured also. It's so frustrating not being able to run like I want to. I hope we both heal soon.
ReplyDeleteI just found out Wednesday that MRI showed I have a broken metatarsal at base of 3rd toe. I haven't ran in 5 weeks prior to hearing this and now I have to wait another 4-6 weeks. :( I have been told to do stationary bike and swim. I want to look at this the positive way by thinking "I can probably do a triathlon sometime this year if I overcome my fear of swimming". Hang in there and maybe we can do a triathlon together - Angge
