you get out of it what you put into it

First form of exercise in 9+ days... I've missed it.

Planned to just walk on the dreadmill but once I got to the gym I couldn't just walk.  So I walked .50 at 15min/mile (that's a pretty quick walk!); ran .25 at 8ish min/mile.  I continued that until I hit 2 miles; walking 1.5 and running .50.  It took me 27:00 on the dot, which, in reality isn't too much slower than I run... maybe I should become a speed-walker!  My knee was hurting pretty badly and I probably should've just stuck to walking.  It is just so boring!!!!

I plan to walk a few times this week (and, yes, I will actually walk) and hopefully get into the sports doc tomorrow.  Note to KP:  Call Sports Doc.

I was cleared by the sports doc yesterday to run as long as I "take it easy" and continue on the foam roller a lot.  I did 3.3 on the treadmill tonight with a run/walk combo.  I would run for a while (0.50-1.0 depending on which time) and then walk .50 at a 15 minute pace to rest my knee a bit.  I could definitely feel a slight pain but I was so happy to be running!  I hope to get in a long run this weekend pending weather.  I definitely will not be doing it on the treadmill.......  I'd rather saw my arm off with a dull butter knife!

Ran 6 in the sleet this morning.  I was supposed to do 9-10 but I could feel my knee throbbing a bit.  I figure it's better to take it easy for a few weeks rather than injure myself again.  I felt great the entire run!  I've missed it...
