This week has had me feeling motivated but miserable…

Motivated… because I’m slowly regaining my stamina and over the weekend, on the day of the Two Oceans Marathon, I took a short walk that got my endorphins pumping and I was feeling so psyched I’ve decided I’m going to start training for the Two Oceans Half Marathon next year. Obviously, I’ll start training after my recovery time is over, I’m not silly. Also, since my pain is gone, I feel driven to want to have an exercise routine again, whether it’s weekly yoga, regular hikes or learning to swim properly, I just feel the need to be physically active.

Miserable… because everyone was scolding me to take it easy and to stay in bed after I had spent the WHOLE week lying in bed sleeping, in between watching movies and series (that’s rapidly running low) and stuffing my face… at home, ALL ALONE! I think I was allowed to enjoy a short walk in the morning sun after a week’s bed rest. Everyone else thought I needed reprimanding… I mean, I’m lying down right now while typing this post, or should I be completely still too?

I’m literally going grey with boredom and losing my voice because I hardly have anyone to actually talk to while “bed resting” during the day. Then there’s me munching and snacking away without much exercise. If my recovery time is going to carry on in like that, I’ll end up looking like a potato and regardless of how much I love eating potatoes, I really don’t want to look like one.
