It has been a rough 2-weeks where I didn't do many of my workouts for one reason or another. Today it is time to get back on track and get rolling again.
Week 4 I had some tight hip flexors and when I was trying to stretch them I think I over did it a little as I felt a sharp pain in my surgery knee. I was extremely worried about it initially. The rest of the day and into the following day every now and then I would get a sharp stabbing pain. I did end up testing it out and went for my run workout, although shorter, I was able to run on it again with virtually no pain. And again occasionally I would get a sharp pain.
Week 5 was a disaster of a week training. I skipped many workouts or just stopped after getting started. I struggled to get up and get my workouts started. Most morning I was up and ready to go but just mentally struggled to get going. Sometimes the constant nagging pain and swelling just gets on my nerves and I wish I was where I was 10 years ago. I just want to be able to run 10 or 15 miles. I have to keep reminding myself I am where I am and I am in better shape physically and in less pain than I was a year 8 months ago.
Now to get over myself and get back on track.
