Recovery week three

Walked 1 mile on Sunday, 1.15 Monday, 1.5 Tuesday, 1.6 Wednesday, 1.5 Thursday, 1.8 Friday and 0.5 Saturday (The Lu was too cold). It took me a lot longer that normal each day, so even if I think I feel better it seems I am doing pretty slow. Stomach was tight and a little funny early in the week. I did try a few floor exercises thinking I should start that as well, but it may have been too soon...

By the end of the week was feeling a lot better but still crazy tired. "Ran" on the Elliptical really slowly for 20 minutes on Thursday and then 32 on Saturday. Belly was a little tight but not bad.

Run: 5.1 mi, 0:52 hrs
Walk: 9.1 mi, 3:37 hrs

A new month

Well - I felt more upright when doing my 0.45 walk today. Lower belly ached a little, funny feeling really. Today was really tired and my belly is definitely aching now. Was able to touch toes and wash feet in shower for the first time. Have to be careful doing things even moving clothes that seem so light - pulling or pushing put strain on my belly.
