The fact that I didn’t go out and do anything dumb after my steroid/epidural shot is a miracle. The constraint it took to avoid going on a run after finally feeling better deserves an award. It brought me so much relief, but that needle going in made me see triple (exaggeration but I couldn’t believe the pain), does anyone else have that experience? The pain was back after the epidural wore off, but they told me that it would continue to feel better over the next week!
I’ve also already started PT and been given exercises that I’m being dillegent about. Now if only I could get on top of things in the rest of my life like I have this injury, everything would run a bit more smoothly around here. Turns out, pain is quite a motivator.
I’ll just be extremely jealous of every other runner I see out happily enjoying their endorphins until I feel 100% and be smart…
I’m kidding, I am happy for other runners, and I’m enjoying the gorgeous weather while I do some retail therapy.
Now for a few Thursday Favorites!*
*I’m telling Andrew that this injury will require me to only fly in business class with a bed. I will no longer be able to fly coach;)
*These Electriclights (haha this is what Skye calls electrolytes)! Both flavors are so beyond good. I have one every single day. The code HUNGRY-RUNNER-GIRL will get you 20% off and free shipping HERE. Both flavors taste like a dessert.
*I used fake lashes for a while there and they completely wrecked my eyelashes. A bunch of you told me about this stuff, and holy cow. My lashes have tripled in length. I wish I took a before picture to show you! Thank you for this recommendation!
*Season two of Shrinking on Apple TV was just released and it is SO good. Andrew and I love this show! There is some language but other than that it’s amazing.
*Epsom salt baths. I can feel them moving my disc back to it’s proper place.
*Beck’s poses for BeReal keep getting better by the day.
*Whenever I’m not running, I find my love for baking cakes again. I found my new favorite. THIS Olive Oil Cake with Brown Butter Frosting was perfection.
My mom came over for some too and she ranked it a 10/10!
