Overall it has been a great week back. After 7 days off my abductor finally started to feel good to the point that I wanted to try running again. It went fairly well right off the bat on Wednesday and really had no change all the way through the run, and lessening pain as the week went on. But all week I have felt moderately awkward running. Nothing has felt horrible and off, but I never felt totally smooth and ready to go. I think part of it was a few different activities than I have been used to, snowshoeing and aqua-jogging. Both of which I enjoyed, but they used different muscles than running.
Snowshoeing was really a great time though. I never thought just hiking in the snow would be so much fun, but even in really terrible conditions it was a lot of fun to trek around with echo and my baby. I hope to continue to get the opportunity to use my snowshoes a fair amount this winter, maybe a trek to Carlton Lake in the snow? This week was great for my motivation and confidence knowing that I have not lost a lot of fitness in my week off.
