YOU GUYS!
I ran AGAIN this morning with no pain!!!
(My coworker Alex reminds me of Kimmy Schmidt, right down to the red hair. When I walked in this morning, I asked her if this is what she felt like all. the. time. If so, sign me up!)
This past month or so of being injured, I have been SO careful and so obedient, listening to every single word my PT’s said.
I’ve been injured before, and it sucks. I know trying to be a hero will only prolong my healing, keeping me in pain longer and keeping me from doing things I love to do — and keeping me from my active lifestyle — longer. And a happy Theodora is fueled by endorphins.
Yesterday, I told my PT how I’d run this weekend and taken it really easy, as well as taken my Uplift class Sunday and yoga yesterday. I think she was actually shocked that I’d taken everything so easy — she said she doesn’t usually see that among other runners.
I’m cleared for running twice a week outside, my long runs on the Alter-G and swimming, for training. I think I want to stick with yoga about once a week, too. This is definitely going to be my most unique training cycle yet, but I’m just going to do all I can.
Which means I’m going to go catch up on Instagram on my foam roller. Night!
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…

Get it girl!! Glad to hear the recovery is going well for you!
Hooray for running again! Diligence is paying off.
For all the times that I was injured I never lasted the full length of doctors orders for rest.
Yayayayayyy! You should be so proud of yourself for following your Dr's guidelines and "letting it be" - it's tough but obviously worth it in the end!
awesome! and i neeeed a foam roller date. tonight. thx for the reminder.
SO inspiring! Been a reader for a while - and just recently hurt my knee training for a marathon-- Coming back from an injury really makes you appreciate just how much we take our health for granted!
women are strong as hell, dammit!
