3 days have come and gone and somehow someway I'm still hanging in there improvement intact.
Curious, I decided after 2 days of nothing but resting my incredibly sore muscles to do a bit of a stress test. Normally this would be absurd and dangerous but I had a feeling this would be ok. I feel dramatically different. I don't get out of breath as easy. The sea air has done wonders.
I went on a just under 40 minute train ride yesterday (a first since 2020) followed by some walking around. Taking care to listen to my body and kneeling or sitting down as my body required me to, I managed to walk around what I estimate to be around 3 miles.
I even did some swinging on the swings of a park which was freeing.
I called it when I started to feel my strength fading but I managed to get back to the train station, and ride it back and get home safe.
Today I am not nearly as sore but I clearly am a bit tired from yesterday's journey. I'm not going to push myself every day as that would just wreck me. Push, rest, push a bit more and rest but listen to my body the entire time.
I'm cautiously optimistic and I'm hoping that this will indeed last
