I’ve never been in a car accident, only a fender bender, but it always scares me so much. I’m glad to hear you are feeling better. I found your blog from Caitlin and am wanting to train for a tri soon. I’ve got the biking down, working on the running and need to start swimming! I look forward to reading

I was involved in a car accident years ago and it took quite awhile for my neck to be “right” again – a year or so if I remember right. I gradually got it back to pre-accident movement and was totally pain free. Getting back was definitely a series of baby steps. THANK YOU for posting a link to a spiralizer! I have looked high and low for one, and even searched Amazon with no success (wrong search words I guess!). I clicked your link and ordered it IMMEDIATELY!

I think it’s awesome that you were able to listen to you body and take doing physical activity slowly. Your body will definitely thank you!

I’ve never been in a car accident, but I did have a fall that led to a bone bruise on my knee. I had to take almost a year off of running and I still don’t feel as though it’s completely healed. I agree, having active friends and having to sit back and watch is no fun!

Yea I had a car accident while I was training for my first triathlon. Took the chiropractor 3 months to get everything straightened back out. of course then I was able to get back on the horse and pulled out a great tri. stick with it, you’ll be putting in more miles soon.

I’m so so glad you are feeling better and I can for sure relate to you> i wasn’t in a car accident but I have an injury and I can’t run or exercise period anytime in the near future. It’s HARD! Going from being active to being… not, is tough. I really admire you for listening to your body totally and completely. And now you are rewarded by being able to get back into what you love. Thank for this post, those words are exactly what I needed to hear (read haha).

Yay, thanks for the update, Ryan. It has to be very hard to be sidelined by something so out of your control. I’m really happy that you’ve been able to take it in stride and do what’s ultimately best for you!

Good on you for listening to your body. There are times when we really have to surrender to that and if we don’t, then it can cause more damage than good.

So glad to hear things are going well for you and that you are able to get back in your fitness routine. Those Orlando girls are very active I have been in a few car accidents, luckily none that were to bad, though it did take a mental toll on me. Having a good support group is key, yoga helps too with the mental side.
