still resting...

summer days...

so here i am 7 days later and the pain is just about gone.  YAY! it was really bad last wed., thurs. and fri., and sat. it hurt me just to walk .3 of a mile to our n'hood pool. sun, it was not as bad as the day prior. and from yesterday to today, i noticed quite a difference too.  yesterday i had just a little pain walking around at a faster pace (especially felt when i would run an errand). so, overall  i am encouraged. :)

i have been doing some stretching, rolling, more core strengthening exercises, and weights at the gym.  today was the hardest leg workout i've had in awhile with high reps. my man was pushing me to failure so i will be sore tomorrow!  i also swam over a half a mile at our n'hood pool last night but am really dealing with some bad swimmers ear now. :(  i had to even go to the doc to make sure it wasn't infected since it throbbed all night and most of today, and i still can't hear out of it. so, now i can't get my ears wet until this clears up.

my man has said this to me before, and i was encouraged once again when my pastor said today: "the rest may make you stronger than ever."  i can't wait to start training next week and continue to pray this rest does me a lot of good! 5 more days...
