I’m still sore at the end of some days. That is what happens when you go from PT 3 days a week to back to your part desk jockey/part climbing/jumping/stepping/carrying/unpredictable movements job. I don’t stretch nearly as much as I should, and I can really tell when I’ve been neglectful in that area.
I think, I have found that the key is, the more active I am today, the more normal I will feel tomorrow. It’s a tough concept for an instant-gratification kinda girl like me to wrap her mind around. When the alarm goes off at 5:30am for my pre-work walk, the first thing I want to do is hit snooze until I don’t have enough time to get a walk in. That 30 minutes of sleep costs me dearly in terms of flexibility and pain, though.
If I want to progress to my former athletic self, however, it’s a concept I need to get behind asap.
