Last week ended up being more of a 'recovery' week than I expected. Friday afternoon I was suddenly hit with severe pain and vomiting and thought I had food poisoning. Long story made short - I eventually had to call 911 and after many hours they determined it was a 7mm kidney stone barrelling through my body.
1 mile easy with the dog, then another 3 on my own. Trying to use the heart rate monitor all week to make sure I don't push too hard after last Friday's nightmare to my body.
1 miles easy with the dog, then five on my own. Body is feeling pretty good. The ankle hurt over the weekend from my spasming, but seems to be doing okay now. Will try and do a full body weight training and some other cardio tonight.
