3 Weeks Post Ablation

I Ran

If you're from my era you may be thinking I'm throwing it back to the Flock of Seagulls song from the 80's!

Oh yes it was all about the hair, the music and the clothes. Well nothing really changes over the decades, but definitely styles change. However I digress. What does this really mean?

The actual meaning of this post is that I actually went out on Boxing Day with the Arboretum Hill Club and ran 5 K from the Fletcher Wildlife Centre along Colonel By towards Hog's Back Falls.

I have to say it was nice to be outside as the last few days I've actually moved from walking on the tread to a light jog to an actual outdoor run.

You may think this recovery is fast, but in all reality when I was given clearance when I was recovering after my Ablation my EP told me that I could resume my activities after two weeks. It's actually been three weeks Even though all my readings were about a month. So I split the difference and decided that I was ready to try and do a very light run and gauge how I felt.

It was some light snow and a nice trail to path run. I managed to maintain a slow pace and was looking to run 30mins, but I managed to last 41 mins out and back. I paused for a couple of photos, but in general a good 1st run after 3 weeks.

I can see the beauty in evening runs

If it's on Strava it counts!

I will continue my recover/rehabilitation and keep going. I'm hoping to increase time and my frequency of outings, but as long as I'm running it is therapy!
