After flaring on January 7th, I basically stopped all physical activity. Taekwondo went by the way side, so did my training for the Spartan races. I was in too much pain to do much of anything. And even if daily life was manageable, exercise hurt. As time went on I watched my muscle mass dropping, bye bye biceps.
Two days ago, I ran my first mile since getting sick.
Yesterday, I got back on Couch to 10k, and I found that I was easily able to do week 3. (I'm trying to find a good starting place to start prepping for my races this year.) My core was definitely sore, but I found that it was not so bad that I couldn't push through to make it a mile and a half.
Today, I feel well enough to go back to MMA and take it easy.
I feel like I'm getting my life back.
