Our ticker has been stuck at 7 miles for a while now. That is not by accident. You see, I decided to take the twins on a 7 mile walk/run in the double stroller. It was a beautiful day, sunny yet with a breeze. After making it home from doing all 7 miles I felt GREAT. Really really good. I have had trouble with my hip in the recent past and for my hip and knees to be doing well was fantastic! I was pumped.
The next day was uneventful. I was barely sore. Just enough that I remembered walking and felt proud that I went out and did it. But, not enough to think twice about it.
Day 2 post walk was an entirely different story. I again felt completely fine and went about my motherly duties. I picked the twins up and put them to down for their nap and decided to pick up the playroom. As I bent down and started sorting toys I realized that I couldn't stand back up. I had thrown my back out again.
After 2 doctors appointments, 2 chiropractic appointments and the 1st of many physical therapy appointments I feel 95% better. Well enough that I can probably attempt the double stroller again. I am not one that sits around the house all day. Walking 7 miles didn't cause me to hurt my back, but I think it weakened it just enough to cause a previous injury to flare up. Thankfully with the help of PT and lots and lots of time on my hands I will start my training out right, so that this doesn't happen again right before out walk!!
