fail...!

Another session today. Was all planned to do a run, at least 5K per usual. However, after 2.5 km our lovely main character gave up. Medial pain and I stopped. Both because physio's orders and because it was simply too worrisome. Went on to do some strength instead.

20 mins cycling
2.5 km = 17 mins
Squats: 3x 20 kg (10) - w. heel support
Calf raises: 3x20 /leg
Glute bridges: 2x 30 reps - PAIN!
Stretch
Bending: 2x

I'm not happy. I'm frustrated and upset because even the easiest things hurt, and I can't do anything. 2 days until 1 year post-op and where am I? Am I really supposed to be on the verge of tears because it hurts so much?

It's funny. Seconds after I left the gym I bumped into a friend. He's got similar problems with his back and shoulders and can't do any sports, not even running! I gave him a pep talk about how it takes time and how he should push even though it hurts. His comment: "I'll be as joyful as you are." Ironic, isn't it?
