Week One of physical therapy complete!
I met with the PA on Monday and during her evaluation of me, she said & I quote, "I know runners are wired a little differently and you NEED to run. I don't understand it but do know you can't help it. Its just something in your brain." Hmmmm, is that true?
So when we were scheduling the next two appointments for the week, she told me they had a facility with a pool. Have I mentioned, the LAST thing I want to do is.....swim! So I waited for her next comment and was completely caught off guard when she said, I could run.....in this pool! What?!
They had an underwater treadmill and I could go and run for 45 minutes! I almost kissed her right their in her office!!! Sign me up, I said. I guess I'm wired differently because I think I told complete strangers in the grocery store, "Hey, I get to run on Wednesday on an underwater treadmill"!
Here's one happy girl! Can't wait to go back next week!
The other positive that has come of this minor set back, is I am back with my CG family! I didn't realize how much I missed by MWF group! While, I can't run during camp & have to modify a lot of what I'm doing their encouragement means so much to me. And what to even say about my favorite newlywed trainers! I continue to be blown away by how much they care about not just me (ok, who am I kidding, its all about me) but all of the campers. Its January and what's everyone's New Year's Resolution......to get in shape! So we have a ton of new people out at camp and they are killing it every day but it has SO much to do with the trainers pushing & encouraging!
The PA told me yesterday that I should be good to go for the half marathon next month at Cowtown. I can't wait because it will be my chance to give back. I am going to pace, encourage & push my trainer across that finish line!
Wish me luck!
