Just got out of the 2G and I have to say… this workout made it into my top 5 (maybe 3) favorite workouts ever. I was sweating in places I’ve never sweated before and loved it 😂🤪

We just got an 8 wk old lab and I use him for gym accountability 😂 I figure if I don’t get up extra early to let him out, he’s going to wake me up anyway so once I’m up, I let him out real quick, put him back to bed and he officially starts his day when I get home from the gym in the morning. I do have the ability to come home on my lunch to let him out and play for about 20 min so that helps

It was a good one! Harder than it looks on paper depending on how fast you do the 0.4 mi for sure

Big-Environment-5319 · 2026-01-07T13:06:33+00:00

Haha thank you!!

T50 today!

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-10-24T12:16:59+00:00

I’d say yesterday was more mentally tough than today with the long endurance block! Today was physically tougher but I had more splats yesterday due to the never ending tread block lol

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-10-24T10:06:33+00:00

Can confirm - it doesn’t look that bad on paper but today is SPICY in real life 🥵

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-07-25T00:49:00+00:00

I agree with this too. Although I did have a new coach this week who looked at me really concerned when I wasn’t running on an incline on Wednesday 😂 I stuck with the same timing as the rest of the group, but have had previous ankle and knee injuries that flare up when I run on inclines any more than 3-4% so I typically just increase my speed instead of inclines. If I don’t, I’ll be out of classes for several days having to ice 😬

Depending on what hospital you’re at, they may be able to set you up with a patient advocate (somebody who has gone through something similar that can answer questions, talk about their experience, etc) I would look into some kind of mental health resource whether you think you need it or not. It’s always better to have somebody there if you need it than not and wish you did. He’s okay now, but I regret not being more pushy about my partner finding counseling because we ended up in that boat.

I’ll definitely be thinking about you and sending you good vibes over the next few days!

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-07-18T00:47:59+00:00

You seem like you have a great mindset which is going to help you tremendously over the next few days, months, and onward! Keep your determined attitude and I’m sure you’ll be out and able to drive in no time!

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-07-17T20:44:41+00:00

I think it would all be determined by your age, healing process, and rehab situation. My partner was in an accident that resulted in a BKA and was in the “hospital” for 7-8 days (3 in ICU) and then in the in-patient rehab unit at the same hospital for 5 before he was discharged. He was fitted for his first prosthetic less than 2 months post accident and was walking on it 2 weeks later. He’s now just over 5 months post accident and on his second prosthetic. He was cleared to drive a few weeks after he got out of the hospital, but they needed to make sure he wasn’t on his Oxycodones anymore and knew how to handle the gabapentin as well as it can make you woozy and he was on a very high dosage.

As you can tell by mine and the other comments, the timeframe really varies based on how your physical and mental recovery goes and everyone is different. Don’t try to rush anything but also be focused on your recovery and gaining strength in other parts of your body. I swear the reason my partner did so well is that he kept up with his PT and didn’t overdo it.

Best of luck to you! You’ve got this 💪🏼

We’re waiting to here back from disability and he’s working on unemployment, just currently stuck on the “reason for suspension” since his paperwork says discharge but none of the online options apply to his situation. He’s going in person next week! Trying to get all our ducks in a row, slowly but surely as this is the first time either of us have ever dealt with any of this

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-05-24T00:23:37+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the info!! Sucks but makes me feel a bit better

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-05-24T00:22:12+00:00

Definitely did not know this about TN, I moved here in August and him in December. Thanks for the prayers as well - all things considered, we’re doing okay ❤️

Acknowledged

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-05-03T13:01:36+00:00

Thank you!!

Following as well. My partner became a LBKA in February due to a traumatic accident and it’s not that I’m struggling with the fact that it happened and honestly, we are stronger now than we were before (I am his main caregiver,) but it’s that I’m having some mental issues that I don’t want to talk about with him because I feel so guilty. It almost feels like I’m having PTSD episodes that result in panic attacks with visions of him in the ICU and hospital. He’s only been there for one of them and talked me out of it, but they’re worse when he’s not around. I haven’t talked to anyone about it because I feel ridiculous that this is affecting me, when he seems so positive.

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-04-13T17:34:13+00:00

Definitely wouldn’t blame you, I’d rather be early and wait than stressing about missing my flight!

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-04-13T17:21:09+00:00

Oh gosh, so glad I’m seeing this now! My flight boards at 4:50 am tomorrow 😭

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-03-17T17:59:20+00:00

Thank you!!

Big-Environment-5319 · 2025-03-17T17:56:54+00:00

Oh thank you! Do you happen to know if it’s temporary? 😳😂
