My physical therapy is really proving to work. I feel that my legs are becoming strong, toned, healthy. They are becoming the sturdy solid base that will be my foundation for a new running program. Last Friday before leaving for my cottage, I had a PT session that was more like boot camp. I was doing
- squats with weights on the bar,
- walking lunges holding barbells,
- leg presses with both legs and single legs, and
- balancing moves on a wobbly board.
I didn't get a chance to run while at my cottage but Jason and I did go on a 20 mile bike ride, which was fairly easy actually.
After work Wednesday was the prime opportunity for a detox run. I set up the ipod and ran for 22 minutes. It was still about 75 degrees at 7:00 and it was exhausting but I forced myself to push on through 6 songs. After that I did plenty of stretching and then my circuit of stretches/exercises for my at-home days of PT.
Today I feel refreshed. I am pumped for physical therapy Friday morning. It's a great way to start the weekend!
