Heather
Low weight, high rep workout. Was ok, stretching afterwards felt great. However, realized how tight my skin is where the incision scar is located. Need to get some scar lotion on that sucker.

Warm up for 'da weights. Took it slow, eventually this will lead to some real running but time to work on some muscle strength.

I really needed this swim. Totally zoned out for the first 500yds. Second 500 were harder but felt great. Coming back from this surgery/loss of fitness is going to be really hard. Luckily I'm up to... read more

Not going to lie, this one was tough. I'm recovering from a really nasty head cold from last week. Still, felt great to be IN the water and swimming.

Ugh, that head cold going around has been vicious. Hope you're feeling much better soon.

great Stillwater Drive Loop 1.45 mi 00:26 17:53 pace
Two loops around in a gorgeous day, in the mid to high 50's! Wasn't sure how it was going to go. No pain or stiffness, took it slow. Felt great.

Had the girls with me this time. Great walk, chilly, but nice to be outside. No pain, even without medication. Feeling pretty good about this.

First walk after surgery. Went well no pain except some minor pain on my right side. Beautiful day to be outside though!

I like that - will remember it. Yeah, getting your conditioning back is a long road - just look for and appreciate those small victories along the way and soon you'll be there. As Ulysses discovered, it's all about the journey.

Great workout today, Heather!!! Keep it up - you'll be back on track before you know it. (And, uh, your pace for 1000y STILL beats my "sprints" I did when I was in that triathlon swim class!)

Thanks guys! I really do need to look at some of this as small victories.
