Behind and confused on my dates. And the WHAT vs WHY revelation.

And I'm not going to sit here trying to figure it out. No wait I think I have it...starting March 6th:

Saturday BIKE indoor 6 miles
Week summary SWIM 2400, BIKE 21, WALK 12.8

Monday BIKE indoor 11 miles, BIKE COMMUTE 9.4
Tuesday SWIM 1300y, PT with JH, BIKE COMMUTE partial 2.4 miles
Wednesday BIKE indoor 11 miles, BIKE COMMUTE 9.4 miles
Thursday (today) BIKE COMMUTE 9.4 miles, and .....??

Was supposed to swim this morning, but wasn't feeling it. Might still happen, or it will happen tomorrow.

Tuesday last week I had a visit with Dr L, he worked on my neck. Oooh yeah my neck feels better, but the knot in my back is still there. I'm now on a 4 weeks or 'as needed' schedule with him, and apparently some changes in his office or my maintenance schedule as next visit I buy 12 visits and pay ahead of time for them. An investment!

The Wednesday swim was a WIN, I squeezed it in between PT with Julie (possibly my last with her!), work, and leaving STL to drive home. This swim felt GREAT. Unfortunately, I didn't swim during my visit. Was more important to take care of mom who was post surgery! And work on K's 500 piece puzzle!

Over the visit, I did get some treadmilling and indoor biking, very little outside of the house though.

The hip did OK, but I swelled up again. It started Friday, got worse Saturday and Sunday, and didn't resolve until Wednesday! Was it the cheese, the disrupted sleep and/or meal schedule, something else? Gotta work on it. Looking at histamine, dairy, and thyroid.

So this week I'm still getting back on my schedule. Met with JH on Tuesday and had a hard knot in my mid upper right back. It was OK all yesterday but sitting here now I can feel it at my  desk. I saw the surgeon Tuesday too, she said it's normal for someone my age to still have pain and not be running yet. Patience. Foam rolling. And more strength.

Lots of mental processing too. Especially with the swelling and gut reaction over the weekend. (Gut went to T=0!! for a few days!!!!). On Tuesday with Jeff I realized that my following the Return To Running protocol given to me needs me to pay more attention to what works and what doesn't for ME. I was following the protocol as prescribed, but wasn't listening well enough. I learned in a Jordan H podcase the next day that I followed the WHAT and not the WHY. I was doing WHAT I needed to do, but not doing it because of WHY I wanted to do it.

This isn't a very good summary, there's so much to say!! The daffodils are blooming, the trees are about to bud out, it's still kinda cold in the 40's most days but right now it's closer to 70. I don't see Dr L for 4 weeks, JB is done, and I'm working with JH 1-2x a week now.

I'm still Keto, just passed 100 days! And I'm a few days away from 500 days of NSNG. I'm looking at the histamines in my food again, considering AIP to calm down my immune response. Assuming that's what's causing this swelling I get. My legs were about 1" bigger around! And considering medical tests -- thyroid? It's frustrating, not knowing what's causing this. It's the 2nd or 3rd time just this year.
