Used lunch time to run up to the mouth of the canyon. The weather was great, I didn't even mind those strong gusts of canyon wind. I still can't bring myself to do the gym. It's the smell. I may get brave soon, in the meantime it's all easy trail running, lots of stretching, stationary bike and treadmill (and walking, I try to walk everywhere now). I missed yesterday due to too many nights in a row of insonmia. The healing of the hip & lack of physically challenging myself on a daily basis has left me way too much energy to worry about and get mad about minutia....usually right before I need to go to sleep. Running has always been a way of taking the edge of my anxiety over real life. So not only am I healing this hip, but I'm having to learn some new coping skills--which so far has just meant that I"m mean to everyone around me. I had no idea how much space and energy running filled up before now. It's been an interesting 'injury' to heal. |
