Progress is still slow, but I am really enjoying training again. I am getting better at walking day by day and am starting to feel stronger.
PT Session #21
5 mins elliptical, 5 x 5 cone touch, 10 bungee cord walks (front, and both sides), 3 x 10 squats on waffle board with 35 lb weight bar on shoulders (This exercise woke the athlete in me. I was really proud that I was able to do this without much challenge. It is not easy to balance on an unstable board, carrying weight on your shoulders, while doing squats...but I can do it!!!), manual therapy (scars)
Walk
Distance: 2.06 miles
Average Speed: 2.55 mph
Duration: 00:48:34

Reflection
I am doing really well in PT and today was the first time I covered 2 miles in my walk. It was a little bit of a struggle. Notice the drop in speed. I had to take a break for a few minutes around 1.7 miles, and then I finished up. I only go as fast as I can go while maintaining a proper gait. One of my old coaches once told me that "Practice does not make perfect, PERFECT practice makes PERFECT." I keep that in my head as I do all of my PT exercises and workouts on the way to recovery. The journey continues...
