In my last post I mentioned surgery was in my futu

In my last post I mentioned surgery was in my future. Well next Tuesday 12/1/2020 I am scheduled for laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal right inguinal hernia repair with mesh. In non doctor speak I have a hernia in my right side that moves from my hip to pubic bone which will get repaired by having surgery that puts mesh to hold it in. Unfortunately, this has been an on going issue for the past year. There was not one cause of this injury but more of a combination of overtraining, high volume and improper core recruitment. Through this I’ve learned a lot and these are my 3 most important tips.
.
.
1)Fix it sooner rather than later! My rule of thumb is schedule an appointment at week 2 of an injury if it doesn’t feel better after the first 7-10 days (you know when it is an emergency which waives this rule). In this particular injury I did that. However, I delayed the proper fix and I’m now in a place that it is interfering with everyday activity.
.
.
2)You can progress in fitness with an injury! This is a slippery slope. I am the fastest and have the strongest aerobic base in all my cardio activities ever before (swim, bike and run). I’m not my strongest but for muscle building I gained and increased my rep ranges and weights for overall volume. It hurts too much to max so I am limited in strength training by this injury. Having limitations is dangerous in regards to continuing the stress on the body especially with intensity.
.
.
3)Listen to your body! If something doesn’t feel right, it’s not. If something is sore, consistently uncomfortable, in pain or discomfort you need to modify. If these things continue over a long period of time get help. Over the last year I pushed through, skipped exercises and navigated around this area. Honestly, it wasn’t until I experienced persistent discomfort that I realized I was skipping deadlifts and a lot of core work. Moving forward I will be applying these things I preach in a manner that leads to longevity not short term wins! Sometimes you have to learn the hard way to understand how to apply what you preach. This will be a big step forward in improving how I program and train myself as well as clients!

Put down a half marathon on the @lightspeedlift this am. I couldn’t have done it without the lift! Unfortunately, this will be my last run of 2020 due to the gym closures and my upcoming surgery I will post about soon. I logged a lot of miles this year and am happy with ending this way!

Picture 2 are my fuels. One vanilla honey stinger waffle at 30 min and gu at 55 min. I drank the whole 28 ounce Gatorade and 8 oz of hydracharge by kaged muscle. In total about 90g carbs.

Picture 3 is my garmin connect! Pretty competitive time for my lack of running the last few weeks (ideally I would have built up my miles before “going for it”). I ran 9:15-8:30 min/miles for first 6 miles. 8 min/mile for the next 5 and finished the last 2.1 at a 6:58. Thank you @lightspeedlift for letting me utilize the movement center!!

There is something so special about swimming. I missed the way it feels to pull through the water, the importance of each breath and the recovery it gives my body. For the first swim back it felt more natural than ever before. I just focused on going slow and staying in control. Shout out to @missboymama for catching the moment 😊

First ride in almost 3 weeks. Feels so good to be

First ride in almost 3 weeks. Feels so good to be back on the bike. Even though I may be confined to the indoors I’m excited to work and get ready for next year. This was also my first ride on a spin bike with clip in shoes. I highly recommend if you want to get the most out of your cycling workouts. Also, best socks in the game from @grandmasmarathon North End Nightmare run 🚴

Be present in the moment. Being busy makes time go

Be present in the moment. Being busy makes time go by so fast! My days off are packed with getting as much in as I physically and mentally can handle. My work days are usually 12 hours. I take everyday one thing at a time and adapting when changes come up to stay in the moment.

This picture from June by @_wavyjd reminds me to enjoy the moment. It took time to appreciate all of the good and bad that occurs over days, weeks and months. Through this I lost the fear of missing out. I have the fear of not enjoying the process of working through challenges and celebrating the successes. Life is a marathon be present through each step 🏃‍♂️
