Back lifting/running after my scheduled 10 days off. 7-months post surgery.
Post-surgery, these breaks actually help. Prior to surgery, I wouldnāt feel rejuvenated at all after a week off. Felt GREAT getting back in this week. It really is so encouraging to feel everything in my body working so much better after fighting my spine condition for 4 yrs. I managed for those 4 yrs, but now weāre making bonafide progress, sweet cheeks.
That is so awesome man, Iām truly happy for you. I know how demoralizing an injury can be when it keeps you from the gym so this is huge. Looking good!
No runs yet this week but has been a steady increase over the past 5 weeks. From 1 mile two days a week to 1-2 miles about 4 days a week. Still following a peloton program with walk+run intervals twice a week and throwing some fun run mile days in between. It has been feeling pretty dang good most days. The running is really making it feel like the strength is coming back faster and makes me feel a lot lighter and fluid in my strength training so I can hopefully start building up more weight there soon! 
Very grateful for all of you that have shared your journeys of comeback from injury, surgery, or time off. 
Push day aswell on d1208 over here. Happy place. 
I did it! My first 70.3 (half Ironman distance triathlon - 1.2 mi swim, 56 mi ride, 13.1 mi run). I beat my goal of 7 hours by 17 mins. Grateful to be sober and doing hard things 
This was something to check off the list but Iāll be going back to shorted distances now for a while 
Amazing! Great achievement! 
Damn, thats badass
Thatās bad ass.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!
This is a complete sentence.
Thatās great! I love long distance running and biking. I could never do the swim! Thatās the part that blows my mind. How long does it take you to swim that far? Is it difficult for you?
Amazing!
Swimming isnāt difficult for me and I love it so that helps. I swam a little longer (2k total) so it took me 37 mins. Since youāre in a lake and thereās a ton of other people you have to sight and swim around people 
Congratulations!!! Youāre amazing! 
Or swim over them. Iāve been on both sides of that tactic and it can be scary!
v true. Im so glad Iām a confident swimmer bc the fear I see in some peoples eyes is wild lolol
Damn now thatās a work outā¦ I could never 
. Mad respect to you
Haha this is so true! When I do my routines I regularly think of ppl like you @fl_flower_grl and am secure in my knowledge that I am still 100% unathletic. I could never do that. But Iām glad you can!
