Couldn’t do run school

I went to Running School as I thought I'd be able to do it. 
The warm up was 2 laps of the track
I went for a walk instead 
The walk was brilliant- 5k round the lagoon and over to look at the waves, but it would have been nice to have done the running session 


So today:

Breakfast 
Not running school - 5k walk instead - bumped into Vik which was Nice
We have a lolly back at CLS
20mins on the stationary bike
Lunch
2pm - 50min wellness massage - was amazing
Finished book on the sun loungers round the leisure pools
Open water swim with Vik, A and Ali in the lagoon. Managed 18mins
Was cold but also loved it - still haven't decided if doing the open water swim session Thursday morning 
Read while vik made curry
Quirckle with Ali

Another fabulous day 
It's funny because it has been a fabulous day, loved my 5k walk but I was so sad that I just couldn't do the running school session. Was there 1minute and I'm like - nope, can't do it ☹️

Loved my 43mins on the stationary bike 
Felt fantastic 

However, I did have a 2.5 hour sleep this afternoon 
I am tired.
Such a different holiday than the one planned before my accident.

First week at Club La Santa done!!!!

Day 7 
What a difference a week makes. I was so cautious and anxious about what I'd be able to do and now, one week later - I feel so much more confidence in myself 

Swimming every day
On the stationary bike everyday 
Aqua jogging and or aqua fit every day 
Walking at least 9,000 steps a day - I have upped my goal from 7,500 to 10,000 steps a day 
Also increasing my land based activities although I cancelled a body balance session this morning as we moved apartments 

So feeling very positive 
I am sore - small of my back and groin area but not in any pain so reckon it's just my body getting used to doing more. Will book another massage this weekend. 

Physio Emily said in December my pelvis was healed, I just needed to strengthen all those muscles around the pelvis. I finally feel in the head space to do this 

Not sure when my accident physio will kick in, it was approved 9th Nov but it then took 8 weeks to have my assessment so I'm not holding my breath but it would be good to get more targeted support.

But basically I'm feeling very positive as I head into week 2 at Club La Santa 



Day 6 - did more land based activities today

Today - Thursday 1/2 I did mobility, 15 mins on the stationary bike, Fitball then a game of Pedal 

Was so pleased as def felt able to do activities on the less forgiving ground as opposed to the very forgiving water - loved the deep water aqua and then the HIIT swim - the French instructor was in the water with x3 of us. 

Showered then off for a walk. 
Much downtime then Lisa and Jill over for our last supper together.
I'm tired and sore but in a good way not in a 'my pelvis hurts' way 🥰
