While the sun was out, I went for another walk. It was actually colder than it looked, though there were a lot of people in t-shirts and shorts. I was wearing long sweatpants and a pretty thick jacket. I used to be pretty tolerant of cold weather but at some point, I started feeling cold. Now I have a space heater in my bedroom, and often I was using an electric blanket.
Anyway, instead of walking through the park, I took some side paths that run between a few neighborhoods. I ended up walking 1.3 miles at a pace of 23’51”. Since the pace was faster (relatively), I was a bit tired and sweaty when I got home. This Harvard Health article says you should be 75% healed after four to six weeks. Well, it’s been seven weeks for me post-surgery and I don’t feel like I’m 75% healed. Some areas I’m fine but getting tired after 1/2 mile of walking is pretty weak. I wonder if I’m going to be ready for work in a month.
