improving?
It rained on Saturday and my aching body was begging me for a day off so I relented.
Sunday, I did a slow 2.7 miles, quite close to the 3 mile goal I set. I had a little bleeding in my ass which was painful and uncomfortable but there was no stopping me.
I remembered years ago when I ran regularly, if my laces came untied, I wouldn't stop to tie them. Sometimes, I would slip and fall on the icy roads of winter but I always got right back up and continued on no matter how much it hurt. Then there was a time when I had a work related accident in which I broke my foot in two places. I though it was just a bad bruise and I ran on it just the same. It healed slightly out of line but never cause me any serious problems. I had it x rayed a month later because I couldn't understand why it was taking so long to heal. My doctor had a hard time believing what he saw!
Today I will try to do at least 2 miles but depends on how I feel, if I go further.
During my free time and especially during my off days, I use a tens belt which I bout on ebay for $20. My doctor told me I have a very weak core which was adding to my back woes but with this belt, I have strengthened it alot!
I haven't been able to lose any weight, but I seem to have awakened some tired old muscles that were use to the inactivity I had become accustomed to for the last few years. It's nice to feel muscle instead of fat!
Going to use some cortisone cream this morning to reduce friction so I don't bleed. Hope it helps. If it doesn't, I will resort to bag balm. I wonder if any of you have heard of that lol! I know, that will work because I use to get sore, raw, nipples from friction cause by my t-shirt when I did long distance running. Bag Balm was the only thing that could cure that problem.
God Bless and TC!
