My back is back, baby!!!
Yesterday I felt a lot better, especially because I didn't have to use the heating pad all day. I didn't take any muscle relaxers before bed, either. Today, my back felt like it was pretty much 100%. Rather than wait until tomorrow (Sunday) to work out and officially kick off Week 4, I decided to get some exercise in today, considering the huge break I've been forced to take.
I just went for a bike ride, and it was a tough one! My legs were back to the "Jell-O" feeling when I got off the bike and tried to walk. It's pretty aggravating how it takes over a week to build up your stamina, and then just 4 days to lose it. I just went on an 8 mile bike ride, part of it was the actual triathlon route.
Tomorrow was supposed to be the day where I do 30 minutes of each activity back to back. I'm going to have to push that back to next Sunday, since I haven't been able to train all week : ( I'm trying not to let myself get TOO discouraged - I usually work out 6 out of 7 days, and this week I worked out 2 - meaning I only missed 4. But I'm also aware that this is still a setback, and I am going to have to work very hard in the coming weeks to make up for it.
For now, I'm just happy that I was able to do some exercise again. So excited for tonight, it's my friend Brittney's bachelorette party in downtown Chicago! Going to be lots of fun.
Have a great weekend everyone!
