Three things:
- Another decent night of sleep, per my Garmin Forerunner 265. More importantly, I felt I slept well.
- My HRV status has, for the first time since surgery, moved from Low/Unbalanced to Balanced. Woo. Wondering what HRV is? Check here.
- By default my Forerunner is set to 150 “intensity minutes” per week, which is a macho way of saying “enough effort to count as some kind of exercise”. During a typical week, I will triple this goal. Since surgery, it has mostly been at zero, but not this week. As of today, Wednesday, I have 24 intensity minutes (from walking briskly)!
- I successfully had a nap yesterday. Yes, this counts as recovery because until now I haven’t really been able to comfortably nap. And I realize this is now four things.
To celebrate my intensity minutes, here is an intense cat:
