I can now do stairs somewhat normally and my energy levels are slowly rising. I feel like I could use some sort of exersise, but am perfectly okay waiting until next week to run; I think my body needs the rest. Maybe I'll go to the gym tomorrow to stretch and lift weights. And I do have my pilates reformer class Friday morning. I also scheduled a massage Thursday night. My body could really use a good deep tissue massage.

Now is a good time to bike. Try get your HR to about what you would running at 9:00 pace. This helps maintain aerobic fitness and also the muscles recover quicker with increased blood flow.

I agree with Sasha, I also use swimming as a recovery sport as the water kinda like massages the muscles I always feel great after swimming, have you thought about upping your food intake slightly for the next week and taking some vitamins too glad your doing great :-)

Sasha and Sam - Good suggestions! Thanks!

What specific foods/vitamins do you recommend to aid with recovery?

From Sasha Pachev on Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 14:18:19 from 192.168.1.1

General idea is replace junk with non-junk. Specifics depend on the body. But I would say fruits, vegetables, nuts, honey, and grains in abundance, light meat in moderation, and avoiding foods that have too loud of a commercial name that your ancestors from the 19th century would not have recognized is a good start.
