I went for another run today, 9 days after my last run, but I increased my time to the next step in the schedule anyway (7 min run, 2 min walk, 2 times) and then added 18 minutes of walking onto that. Believe it or not, it wasn't that difficult, although i realized while running that I was taking it a bit easy. Still, for having not run in 9 days, I think it went pretty well! I also went out to the garage and did some (very,. very light) bench press, because I realized I'm getting really weak & losing a lot of muscle mass. Now that I'm getting a feel for how my body recovers (and the fact that my legs no longer hurt after running) I think I may be able to start adding in some weight training again. I'll just have to take it much easier than I ever have in the past, and be slow/deliberate about it.
As an aside (and not including anyone here) I only got one unsolicited text about thanksgiving this year. While i think that, overall, this is a good thing, I did kind of expect to see something from Viv or GRJ, but nothing so far. The one text I did get is from my former drummer, with whom I haven't spoken in a few months, and not more than 2-3 times in the last year or two, so that was a bit odd. I did send a text to my brother-in-law, wishing my family a happy holiday. He replied with a similar sentiment, and we left it at that. I'm thinking I may not bother reaching out to them anymore, but I'll play it by ear, as they say.
My back has been hurting more, and I've been sleeping less in the last week. 1st week I was off I had several 9-11hr sleep nights, which helped a lot. Now? I'm going to bed later than I would while working, and waking an hour earlier than I did for work. Awake enough that I just get up & start the coffee - my days are now starting around 4-4:15 am most every day. I don't really care, as I've nothing to do, but I find it curious & wonder if it implies anything regarding my health?
Oh well.
