So... I have breaking news! I'm sure the world will be fascinated and intrigued that I, Kaileigh, am healing alas! Hallelujah! I was able to jog (slowly) thirty minutes straight yesterday morning, which was SIGNIFICANTLY better than three days prior, in which I could only run fifteen to twenty. Afterwards, I immediately iced my hip and repaired those broken-down cells (because working out kills cells) with simple carbohydrates- fruit! I made myself a cute little fruit bowl and gobbled it up. It feels so great to eat delicious food and have it heal you at the same time! Here's what I did:
Recovery fruit bowl:
- cut a mango in half and cut out the pit (kinda tough- use a smaller, sharp knife!)
- take a handful or two of fresh or frozen blueberries and fill the divot in one half of the mango
- top the fruit bowl with shredded coconut and cinnamon
- eat with a spoon and enjoy!
I've noticed that eating the red and blue berries right after running, I'm better-able to recover and my next work out is noticeably better than the last... which is AMAZING news for me, since I'm going on my eighth week of hip-flexor recovery. So, eat your fruit!
