On The Mend
I went swimming today for the first time since I injured my back.
I walked to the ferry in icy rain, swam half my normal workout (which was still quite hard), took the subway back to minimize additional walking, and still walked over four miles.
It didn't feel great.
It's very different, being in the real world. I didn't realize what a controlled environment I'd been in for the last few weeks. So many places to sit today with nothing to push yourself up from (which is one of my hardest things). I bent and stretched and needed a range of motion I haven't needed at home or in the neighborhood.
Hopefully it will be easier now. And the weather is finally going to break, temperature-wise, in another day or so. It's been a winter.
