It has been a crazy week at work, which is another story. It means that I did not have time to workouts for a few days, which reminded me that sometimes it is better to Just Not Do It. The forced holiday has brought quite a dramatic improvement to my lower back and leg issues. What a huge relief.
I am actually waking up in the morning without pain for the first time in 5 weeks, and I am not feeling any real pain throughout the day either. I have lots of stretching ahead of me though.
Last night I got back on routine with an intense 30 minutes on the bike, and the treadmill for 25 minutes; I still haven't hit the pavement. Perhaps this weekend.
I have been keeping my mileage up in my absence from the streets. (Isn't it time we create a similar word to mileage for metric? What about Kiloactivity?) How you ask? Water running I respond.
It was suggested to me by a colleague, and has worked out really well. I am surprised what a great workout it is, and I plan to keep it as part of my routine once I am completely healthy. There are a few different approaches to this kind of workout; you can see for yourself with this Water Running Video. We are not speaking about the most scintillating activity in the world, but it works.
