Frustration

There are many things that are frustrating with this process.

My frustration of the day is the slowness in my progress.

I am 11 weeks post-op and I know I shouldn't complain. Things could be a lot worse. Things could always be worse. But this blog allows me to vent so deal with it or don't read :)

I ran a 5K at 8 weeks post-op. It was my slowest 5K time ever in my life. 

I began lifting weights again. I eased back into it starting small at 6 weeks post op, but grew more confident these last two weeks and tested out some max effort lifts. I am 20 pounds off my power clean. I am 30 pounds off my push jerk. I am 50 pounds off my deadlift. I am 70 pounds off my back squat. I am 80 pounds off my overhead squat.

I also did some time trials. I am 15 seconds slower on my 500m row. I am 30 seconds slower on my 400m run. I am 40 seconds slower on my 800m run. I am 1:30 slower on my mile.

My husband told me last week that I look angry when I work out. 

That is probably because I am.
