Valery was flat on her stomach in the training room.
With the baby having been born just recently, Valery had been working overtime to get herself back in shape. Already, she fit her typical gym outfit for at home again, and both her endurance and strength were returning quickly. Muscles were showing the way they had before her pregnancy, and she was getting back her combative edge too. The Sword of the Jedi was back to it.
But she wasn't very forgiving for herself despite her progress. She kept pushing herself harder and harder, until she physically could barely move anymore. Only then, she allowed herself to recover before doing the same thing again.
Today was another such day - she had just completed her training routine and could barely roll herself onto her back, let alone stand up. She knew deep down rhat it meant a break was needed, but she pushed herself up on hands and feet, and tried to squeeze out another push-up.
She could do this.
