I woke up this morning and decided I NEEDED to go to the gym today. I have been doing a little yoga in the mornings to stretch, but I needed more and I wanted to get out of the house.
So I went this morning and did a dynamic stretching/recovery workout, modified to meet my needs.
It felt so good physically, but especially mentally and emotionally. I had expected it to be more difficult. I only did three of the four rounds, because I was slow and my parking meter was expired (they are quick with the tickets!), but it was a good three rounds. Nothing was painful, or even uncomfortable.
I am eager to get some specific instructions from my surgeon next week so I can plan my 'real' return to the gym.
The rest of today, however, will be spent napping and watching 30 Rock.
