Run
  • 41m 03s
  • 4.13 miles
  • 09m 56s /Mi

Pretty good run. Just the usual, down to the park and back. Staying off the harder trails until my knee is 100%.

A new month.  Lets see if I can fill it up with some runs and bikes and some strength training.  Yeah, that's right, I said bikes.  Course I go on back up on call this coming weekend and on call the following...  So that's a bit of a cramp in the plan

Bike
  • 46m 49s
  • 5.55 miles
  • 7.11 Mi/hr

Look at me out on the bike. Dicking around on the mountain bike, just sticking to the trails close to home. Still tentative on the bike but noticed I was attacking on the uphill and only had issues on the downhill. I can build into that. Knee actually hurt a lot biking but was told that I did not have to hold back so all is well. I have a fairly high pain tolerance so it's all good

Strength
  • 45m

time includes PN strength workout, warmup and some jump rope afterwards.

Strength

No idea how long I worked out. it is cut back week in P90X so decided to do my PN workouts instead. i jumped rope after that. Sweating like a pig (do pigs sweat?) as it is super humid in Payson after the massive storm that went through last night

Off to Scottsdale this morning to get my knee checked out.  Sure hope they can identify the issue, and even better fix it.  Even better better tell me I can still run.

Good news, appears to be a muscular issue.  Apparently I have weak hamstrings.  I always knew that though but I think not biking is causing the quads to become even stronger, forcing the imbalance even more.   The PT person said I am very flexible as well, which means that I need extra strength to make up for that flexibility.   P90X doesn't really have any hamstring isolation in it, it is mostly squats and lunges.  So, I am going to stop P90X and focus on a different type of workout, and do some PT specific to the imbalance on top of that.  And maybe this will be the thing I need to get out on the mountain bike more often.  Um, I mean simply get out on the mountain bike...

I might do this weird thing and take a day off.  I want to run but god knows I shouldn't be running until I find out what's up with me knee.

July 28

Run
  • 41m 43s
  • 4.10 miles
  • 10m 10s /Mi

wow, sure glad work kept me busy until the afternoon so it was nice and hot when I went for my run. You all caught the sarcasm in that right? I was running a pretty good pace and I knew I was going too fast for the heat but just couldn't bring myself to slow down...but my body eventually did that for me

Watching Canada play Russia in basketball.  Happy to see my country play and my favorite sport at that.  They even have a Kim Smith

Legs & Back - 58:56

Almost forgot to log my workout. Didn't do the Ab Ripper X (again) as I was short on time and had an early meeting. I of course was short on time cause I was diking around

Tina leaves today for her annual vacation with her friends.  So a week with just me and the pets partying up.  Too bad she didn't plan it for when I was on call, which is coming up shortly.  Hopefully the truck doesn't give me any issues while she is gone cause she is flying out of Tucson (booked before we moved) and that is where the car will be.

Tina got two pictures of us developed from two separate vacations.  We are each wearing the same shirt in both and both are the same colour.  It's kind of funny.  And I am even wearing the same shorts.

So watching the live xray of me swallowing was pretty cool actually.  The stuff to swallow wasn't awesome but wasn't horrible.  But, I have a perfect swallow.  So scope and xray is clear.  Hum.... 

As a Canadian it is tough to live in the states during the Olypmics.  You probably think it is cause I get tired of seeing only American athletes and never any Canadians eh?  Well, no, it is cause in Canada they show shit LIVE.

I seem to have replaced yoga with running. Oh well. Short run, need to get to work since I have to go to the hospital later

And today I get to go to the hospital and swallow some gross liquid while they xray me swallowing.  Sounds fun eh?
