Not doing well physically at the moment.
Sure I ran (mostly) 5 miles Sunday. Was it Sunday? No, Monday!
I also snapped up an offer from my work’s insurance who’s partnering with a company called “Hinge Health” - digital/virtual PT. They sent me a tablet, some wearables, and an exercise plan. Hooked me up with a personal coach. Had been doing their exercises every day (night, really) for the last week or so.
Until last night.
Tuesday I woke up with my back angry at me. Reminded me of my old sciatica days (which was later re-“diagnosed” by a PT I was seeing at the time as hip imbalance/rotation). Still did my Hinge Health routine at the end of the day. Wednesday I was in WAY worse shape. Couldn’t go from sit-stand or stand-sit without pain, sometimes SUPER sharp. Sometimes enough to make me fold my legs. Couldn’t cough or sneeze (hello spring allergies (I guess?)) without pain so sharp I cried out. Skipped Hinge Health. Wondering if my coach will yell at me today.
Today it’s better but not as good as Tuesday. Oh and also is that a bit of a sore throat I feel coming on?
Getting really tired of one to two steps forward, two to three steps back with this meat sack I’m walking around in.
Anyhow what did it? Did I run too much too soon? Hinge exercises actually harder than they seem (which they seem SUPER easy, so...)? Or just old age? Or other?
