It has been a hectic week. First week of school is the most difficult time. But I managed to get in a few workouts. I started using the StairMaster. And at level 15 & 16 I have managed to do 6.3 miles in 50 minutes and 310 floors. It is a killer. Gets your quads. I have been weight training three times a week. I have been seeing a lot of the gym. I hate going to the gym. I feel very claustrophobic but I am trying to keep my endurance up.
I started physical therapy (for my ankle) today and the therapist said that I should start running one mile and see if the swelling increases. But she wants me to run and at the same time work on some ankle exercises. She asked me to get some stability shoes. I feel so excited that I can run again…. even if it is one mile. I feel blessed.
One thing that has helped my healing is meditation and really connecting with my body. And believing that my body is going to heal. Research shows that stress can actually impede healing. So I am trying to have a drama free life....something that is so difficult for me. Drama seems to follow me no matter how hard I shy away from it.
I feel so blessed that I discovered running and try to live a healthy life. I strongly believe that a healthy body is a healthy mind. My productivity has really increased since I started running. But more than anything my concentration is great. I have long days. Wake up at 5.30 am and sleep at 11.00pm.
I have been working out almost 6 days a week for one hour minimum. I feel really good that I have been disciplined to go to the gym.
