If I look at my Komoot recordings, I get the impression that I had made a good development from the beginning of June up to June 16th, with its peak walk of more than 5 kilometers at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour. That’s a record for me. But I couldn’t repeat this peak anymore. My walks decreased to a little more than 1 kilometer at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour. Then I stopped walking, besides two short walks of about 2 kilometers with two walking sticks for support for at least half of the distance. But these ones are only the measures for maintaining a kind of objectivity.
My feeling in this phase was much worse. Yesterday there was a kind of breakdown. After sitting almost two hours attending Lea’s Matura graduation and then two hours for a dinner, afterwards I wasn’t able to walk without stopping after a couple of steps. The way from the garage to our flat was torture.
I deny that all this trouble has anything to do with my new strengthening program and my new rehabilitation center. But I don’t dare to claim that it helps much.
This weekend I am stopping all my training, including walking, to recover my muscles, I hope.
As an act of despair I again reached for my TENS to struggle against my pain and muscle tension in my left thigh. Always in the belief that doing something is better than nothing.
