The pineapple dress

It was time to bust out the pineapple dress today and make the most of the hot weather. It marked another first as I managed coffee with a group of friends at my local cafe.

That was a big ask because several hours earlier the physio put me on the treadmill. Using increments of time, incline, and heart rate he measured when my concussion symptoms start.

Both activities were taxing but I managed them. I wouldn't have missed my friend's birthday for the world.

Research shows that applying the right cardio work load and amount plus incremental increases in daily living tasks, leads to a quicker recovery from concussion.

Today's gratitude: For a lifetime of physical fitness. It's helping me recover now.
