I stated off as planned but on Tuesday I went to the Physical Therapist/Chiropractor for a little look-see on my shoulder and that changed the direction of the week.
Holy cow! If you have never endured ART (Active Relief Therapy) you haven't felt pain that leads to healing. My doc worked my bicep tendon, my shoulder and then ultimately my hip, hamstring and quad, which were apparently a lot more knotted up than I had realized. 40 minutes of grueling manipulations, followed by ice and ultrasound certainly loosened me up but I was way sore the next day and felt like I had been dragged through mud. I took a rest day.
That is kind of how the week went. I made it through the day, but felt fatigued and run-down and certainly bruised and battered from the therapy. I didn't work out at all until Friday and then I just did Tony's new yoga routine - Patience.
Today is Saturday and I did Core Cardio and Balance - the easiest of the Insanity workouts. I have to say, it feels good to get back to it but I wasn't bursting with energy. Good food, water and a good attitude will get me back on track next week.
I am back.
