 Progress in Motion: Week in Review

As I wrap up the week, I’m reflecting with gratitude on the progress I’ve made. I logged approximately 10.5 miles of gentle baby jogging and about 24 miles of walking—each step part of my ongoing effort to rehabilitate my knee. There’s also been a fair share of rest, giving my body the time and space it needs to heal.

The crutches have officially been put away, and while I’m still wearing KT tape for support, I consider that a win. Siting for a little bit and then getting up remain a bit of a challenge —the first few steps are the toughest—but I’m moving forward, literally and figuratively.

One major highlight: I was able to complete a cycling class this week without any post-workout inflammation. I took it easy, listened to my body, and it responded well. I’ve also remained consistent with my weekly TRX and strength training sessions, along with Pilates for mobility and recovery. While I’m not yet back to 100%, I’m headed in the right direction—and that’s something to celebrate.

Movement continues to be my medicine—mentally and physically. I’m embracing this healing journey, trusting the process, and looking forward to what the upcoming week has in store,

Wowza heart rate however, I was able to "jog 1 min."

Guess what?! I got the OK to start moving again—walk 4 minutes, baby jog 1—and today was the day I gave it a go! 
Started with a chill 6-minute warm-up and eased into it… and my knee felt GREAT! No pain, just pure excitement. 

I even did a cool-down walk around the track while baseball was happening nearby—such a perfect comeback vibe. 

It’s not fast. It’s not far. But it’s a start. And right now, just being able to jog (even for one minute) feels like a total win.

Walking with crutches is...... Better then not walking!

I’M BACK ON THE MOVE!!

Little by little, step by step — I’ve gone from barely walking a quarter mile… to a mile… and now I’m up to TWO miles! It’s not fast, but it’s forward — and that’s what matters. Slow walks, big wins.

This morning’s walk under those gorgeous skies had my heart feeling so full. Then it was off to the gym to train some incredible athletes (seriously, they inspire me daily!) and squeeze in a sweaty TRX upper body sesh for myself.

I’m doing everything I can to bounce back — staying patient, pushing smart, and taking it one strong day at a time. Recovery isn’t easy, but I’m here for it. Let’s GO!! #SmallStepsBigWins #TRXLove #MovementIsMedicine
