Skipped the bike today, felt a bit like I was pushing it with all the increased biking recently; my knee was a bit achey.

Did my hip and groin stretches, got warmed up and decided to do a run/walk combo, I will be in recovery mode for a while. Only half of the distance I did today was actual running, and there was pain for sure bit it was bearable. I have to ask my PT Doc how much of the pain might from non-use and how much might still be from damage that is still not healed. But it sure felt good to be out there getting a good sweat!

PT today, learning lots of new stretches and can't imagine ever running again without them! I felt amazingly OK after yesterday's mini run workout and now have the OK to start on some easy, absolutely flat, run/walk workouts.

So here I am back at the beginning, again. But happy none-the-less!

I RAN TODAY! It was only for 15 minutes within a 30 minute run/walk session and on the TM and very slow. But I did it. There is still some pain, but it seemed to get less as I loosened up. My leg was pretty spent after 30 minutes. I know it will be a very long trek back to where I was but at least I am on the right track. I have to be very careful to take it slow!

OWS

Sport

Missed the last three weeks for our group OWS, so I was not surprised that I was having a hard time on the way out, I never had to stop but I was having a hard time catching my breath a bit. The way back in was much better and I got in my grove real well.

August 4

Bike
  • 3h 27m 30s
  • 50.05 miles
  • 14.47 Mi/hr
Officially the longest ride I have done alone. Keeping myself entertained for 3.5 hours is the hardest part. I was quite hot, but I did fine and happy it's done!
