No one stopped by my office on Tuesday to complain about being sore so either they’re getting stronger or I didn’t work them hard enough. I hope it’s the former.
I hadn’t decided if I was going to try for a cardio workout in the evening or not. First, I had a doctor’s appointment with the doctor who told me to take three weeks off from running.
The verdict? He’s still not sure what’s wrong with me. So, we’re going to try a cortisone shot. That will be more diagnostic than anything. If that helps take my pain away it will give him a better idea about what’s going on. But, just like after all my doctor’s appointments where they poke at my hip, I left feeling sore.
Forty-five minutes of physical therapy didn’t really help, either.
So even though I turned off the tv after dinner with all intentions of doing some doctor-recommended power-walking on the treadmill my hip ached like the dickens when I stood up. Back to the couch I went with an ice pack.
It still aches right now but there was never a question of squeezing in a workout today. Meetings during the day and a birthday dinner for the hubby after work.
Congratulations on surviving 33 years!
I’ll be back at it tomorrow with some strength training and power walking.
