Back With a Capital Vengence!

Wore my Packer shirt to the gym this morning. Something tells me that it is going to get sweatier watching the game this afternoon than it did at the gym. 

Ditched the crutches today :) Thinking that will speed up recovery since I am able to regain some semblance of my normal life back. Was able to carry my coffee into work today - yay!

Totally overdid it with the walking yesterday. Found myself huddled under my desk in the fetal position for over an hour with the worst back cramps of my life by the middle of the afternoon. Feeling better after intense PT sesh this morning. I seriously have the best PT in the world. If anyone ever needs a recommendation - I have a good one!

As for good news, I get to start adding resistance to my stationary biking. Goodbye level zero!

AM: 3.5 on bike and 1.5 hours of PT

PM: 5 more miles on the bike

Things that make me cranky: getting to the gym and realizing I forgot my shoes.

Things that make me happy: getting home and finding my shiny new bike in a box. Yes a bike in a box. My first road bike as a present to myself for enduring all this hip crap. I even put it together all by myself. I just don't trust that I did it well enough to ride it :) 

6 weeks down!!! That means only 6 weeks left until I can return to "normal activity." 

AM: 3.5 on the bike & PT 

PM: 5.5 on the bike & 5 super awkward minutes on the elliptical - it's a start!

My gluteus medius is getting huge. Some call it the most important muscle in running.
