Back in Action

Today was going to be a great day. Throughout the winter I have joined a group of friends every Tuesday and Thursday morning to do a weight circuit. The workout has a high intensity and works the legs and upper body. I showed up a few minutes late (just can’t always get out of bed) but was able to jump right in and have a great workout. I started my shoulder exercises and it was awesome to know I am on the road to recovery.

During the winter months my job usually consists of me sitting behind a desk at the computer. Today my coworker Kryssie and I went out to survey a new client’s house. It was nice to spend a few hours outside during the day. Though it was still pretty chilly, we really enjoyed soaking up a few rays.

On my way home I finally jumped back in the pool. I am not sure why I completely abandoned my pool workouts but was truly surprised how good the arm felt. I guess I could have probably started swimming earlier but now that I know the injury is relatively easy to heal, I am eager to get working on my stroke. I was surprised how good it felt to get back in the water even though there was an aerobic class filling almost the entire pool. I am looking into a swim coach to help prevent further injuries and eventually become a better swimmer.

Until next time!
