So here I am, in the middle of week 2 and I am still in recovery mode. I did a boot camp class today and it was better than last week. No nausea. Some light headedness. And a couple of times, my body hit failure and I had to walk. This getting back into shape after illness is tough. But I can tell it is better than last week. I want to remember that it is OK to be here in this not so good shape place because I am choosing to move forward. In four more weeks, I am gonna be awesome.
On Sunday, I did the spinning class again. I liked it much better the second time. I had a better idea of what to expect and how to push myself. It’s a good thing I have been doing yoga for 5 years because otherwise I would have no idea about what to do in the yoga part. There is little instruction about how to do the yoga part.
Tuesday, my coach began an assessment of where I am now. He will be giving me exercises to do around my other workouts to correct the imbalances my body currently has. It became clearer to me how much I need to do and how consistent I need to be to become a triathlete. In the afternoon, I got a short 800 yd swim in. I felt more normal in the pool than I have in almost a month. I could feel the water around my legs and by my face. I wanted to swim enough to get looser and have some aerobic activity. It felt good for the major part.
Kay Lynne, I’m so happy you are feeling better. Keep up the great work!
