Immediately after the incident I could barely walk. It would hurt to sit. Driving was hell. Slowly after doing all the ice & heat treatment and burning my skin in the process I started to recover. I still ride and it feels great. Though not too fond of the cold, riding in the cold. But I also missed running. I am not the kind of person who can sit still. I move around and have to move around. Without being able to run, I have been miserable.
Last two days I have focusing a lot on stretching. My good old friend stretching. To this day, I credit my stretching and giving myself ample time to warm up, for my awesome, amazing runs. Ha...the days of Los Angeles. How I miss you?? I tried going for a run on Monday. I could barely walk, it was painful. I was sweating crazy even though I was tippy-toeing and it was cold that evening. I couldn't manage to cover even a half mile. I dragged myself back home all broken & frustrated.
Next day, I went for a bike ride. My knees were in pain. I could also feel a little jolts of pain on the back of my thigh from time to time. But I didn't give up.
Finally this morning, I was contemplating on working out when I had the feeling I could go for a run. The simple thought of running was getting me really worked up. Laced my shoes, put on the jacket with the hole on the back and head out the door listening to Deadmau5 "The Veldt." At the beginning nothings hurting. I am getting more excited. But slowed myself down not to get hurt again. From time to time, felt uncomfortable, at times it felt like learning the whole running all over again....
But such is life...
