Had back surgery about two weeks ago. I haven't moved much since the surgery, it was very intense. Today I decided to walk to a nearby park that I haven't been able to go to due to my health issues. Making the journey alone was a real test for my recovering body, but I strapped on my back brace and headed out. While walking I kept calculating whether my body could handle the journey back but I made it to the park and decided to keep going. A good ways inside I made it to a creek that was overflowing through the path and it started to rain so I had to turn around. The way back was uphill and I had to hurry before the storm hit. Forcing my nerves and muscles to reconnect, my heartrate and breathing elevated, sweating and pushing myself, felt fucking great. Got home, showered and felt that familiar post-workout relaxation while listening to the rain and thunder. Pic related, the turnaround point.
