7 days to take off

[lycranotlikely]

Today we walked 5.7km in 1 hr 10 minutes. I guess we have a long way to go yet but it's a start. Seriously considering swimming between run days from next week.

I take it your husband's better then. Good.

Swimming's a good option. I do that on "rest" days, along with Strength & Flex (just started). But not today: drove half way to the pool before I realised I hadn't switched the pressure cooker off before leaving... mad dash back, just in time to prevent the valve blowing and lentils going everywhere (I speak from experience.... a few years back I had to repaint the walls and ceiling it was so bad!). >:/

So what was I saying? Oh yes... swimming. I do backstroke, which I find irons out any problems with my posture (and sciatic nerve). My breathing technique's not good enough for the crawl and breaststroke yet.

Check with the pool's experts / your doc first though.

Good idea to ease into things.

Yes husband's much better. Amazed at speed of recovery. I've done the pressure cooker thing with beetroot

Thanks about the back stroke idea.

My doc says I'm ok for running and swimming. I'm an example to all her patients on weight loss and exercise!

What a lovely thing for your doc to say! You must feel so proud.
