The start of the week marked one month post-op for me, and I admit that a bit of doubt has started creeping in. Mr. PugRunner keeps saying I am in "the first quarter" of all this, but at this stage of the game, I really hoped to feel more like myself. Instead, I still struggle with exhaustion, ...
week 2(20): one month post-op
week 1.20: new fitness beginnings
2020 comes with the promise of new fitness beginnings. After all, I didn't start off the year with a race or a run or even a session of 9Round. Really, all I've been doing is rotating through prescribed stretches and working on building my stamina. Some days, I feel great enough to take on the ...
