Back on the Treadmill
2.94 miles! And this was only my second time on a treadmill. My left foot didn't go numb until about 40 minutes into the walk. That was great! I stayed on for the full hour, while I was watching and listening to Law & Order on one of their tv's.
I have to figure out a better way of actually stopping. I think I'm doing it right, I slow down for the last couple minutes, slowly. But when I stop and get off the treadmill, my legs are absolute jelly. It's completely like sea legs. MS or not, I don't know. But it takes several minutes to really get my footing and walk correctly.
So this was my first time back to the gym since Sunday's deadly BodyFlow. It's taken that long for my legs to feel better. I was very sad to have missed Tuesday's Flow, but I just couldn't do it. Earlier in the day on Tues, I tried to lunge and see how my thighs handled it, and they yelled at me. They still have a twinge of soreness, but it's manageable.
Chris picked up a pair of sneeks yesterday, and we'll be hitting the gym together tonight. Or at least, that's the plan. I'll do the treadmill again for an hour. And then on Friday, I'm planning on doing BodyCombat again. It's too bad that Chris is not interested in doing any of the classes, not even BodyPump. If he did Pump, I'd do Pump. But it's just too damn intimidating to me!
