Hey All,
Well, this past week hasn't been very eventful training wise. I ended up injuring myself worse then I thought originally. I didn't feel the impact of it until Wednesday. I had one of the physiotherapists at work take a peek at me and it seems that when I fell Saturday morning, I managed to nutate my sacrum. This caused compression on my vertebral disk at L5/S1. This means, the last part of my spine is rotated forward squeezing the disk between the vertebrae. I was in such pain, I was prescribed anti-inflammatory and pain killers, by my doctor, to help cope. It's safe to say I am taking it easy for the next couple weeks.
This has been extremely frustrating for me. I was doing so well with my training. I managed to make it to running for 2 minutes and walking 1 minute intervals. I am just so upset, I feel like all the work I have accomplished will be lost. I'm also on a time line, I need to keep up with my training to get to my 5 km goal... :( I just want to run!!!
I know that I'll get back into the routine again, it's just killing me that I have to go slowly. I have to listen to the words that I tell those I help treat. I need to take it slow and progress gradually to what I was doing before. Next week, I'll be going to the gym to walk on the treadmill and work on some trunk flexion exercises. I will also work on my upper body strength as that won't impact my spine too much.
Hopefully, I will have better news next week!
Stay Tuned,
Julie
