I tried to run last Saturday and didn't make it very far. That was the last time. This week I rode the stationary bike twice, lifted twice and rested today. I have lost 2 pounds and am down to 181. I have been very good with my eating.
Last year at this time I was planning my races for the year. This year I am wondering if I am going to be able to run 3 miles without hurting!!
It is in the 50's here . . . .I am going to try to run to the end of the block tomorrow (1.1 miles).
Even though I can't really run . .. I have been taking walks in the early morning before the sun rises and am still getting that "buzz" that comes with being the only one on the street when you see lights inside houses go on for the first time.
I am not complaining that I am not fully recovered! I get frustrated because I just want one good drenching 10 mile sweat . . .but that will come with time. I am glad that I can walk without pain . . .I have been spending quite a bit of time trying to build not just the strength in my knees but more importantly all of the muscles that surround my knees.
High School basketball tonight . . . . .one of my loves.
