I think SLOWLY is going to unfortunately be the name of the game with recovery for my injury! And I am possibly THE most impatient person when I want to get cracking on with something.
So Thursday I managed to stay away from my beloved circuits class even though a little devils voice was in my head shouting "Do it, do it, do it" hee hee hee
I went to the gym & did 30 minutes cycling & 10 minutes rowing all pain free so was feeling happy.
Today, I thought was a good a day as any to attempt my first run. So off I toddled to the gym & I cycled for 30 minutes & rowed for 10 to warm up my muscles. I then did some light stretching... I sound like I know what I am talking about here but I don't really I just thought it would be good to do! I went down to the track as its a nice soft surface, took a deep breath, plugged my ipod in & turned my tunes up loud & off I plodded!!
Plodded being the main word!!! I managed to run for 3 laps of the track before I had to stop. I wasn't in agony but my shin was sore & when I stopped it felt even more sore so as not to do more damage I went home.
ICE ICE BABY!! Yep ice out & on the leg! Has made it feel alot better already so I guess its going to be a very gradual return :o(
2 days to my curry night, so am busy getting things ready for that!! I really hope it is going to be a success!!
Will report soon, hopefully with some pictures :o)
