Friday I had a Vasectomy. It was time, mutual family decision and all that. But, the hardest part really is the fact that I cannot run for at least another 3 more days, have to give time for things to heal.
It's one thing to take time off due to injury, or taper. But this is different. This is a self-inflicted 'injury'. And for the most part my body feels fine, and is wondering why I am not running.
The first day was pretty easy to not move as it was uncomfortable to even get up from the couch. The same for the second day. But by Sunday I was starting to get pretty antsy and stir crazy.
And by today, Day 4 after the surgery, I am definitely feeling the lack of exercise.
Trying to count the positives (aside from the ones that come from the actual surgery)
- My legs and feet are actually getting some real rest.
- I am catching up on sleep with no 4:30 wake ups
- Getting a week to focus on the new eating schedule, second week of that, which should help set that in concrete.
- In the long run (no pun intended) a week off from running won't kill me
Just 3 more days to go, really looking forward to that Saturday morning run!
