Yippeee… After taking 18 days on the bike and the elliptical machine, I got out today. A little tired of the bike inside. Last week, it was 160 miles on that bike. I planned to run on St. Patrick’s Day, but the weather did not cooperate. So today, it was the day. I only did 2.5 miles at an 11-minute pace. At first, I was worried that the twinge was still in the knee, but after 5 minutes, all felt smooth. I am thrilled.
The weather is looking better, and I look forward to getting outside. However, my other hobby is being a USTA Tennis Official, and with the collegiate season upon us, my weekend run options are minimal. I am planning on base training about 25-30 miles a week and increasing about 3 miles a week. This is very doable, as I do not want to feel knee pain again. I have been fortunate never to have any knee issues, and I did not like it.
My son is now back in Colorado. Sure is nice he is doing well. Is there ever a time we can just feel good about their being on their own? Or is it just not wanting to recognize we are not needed, except for tuition…
Anyway, I'm looking to get more runs outside, ride my bike to work, and sleep with the windows open. (The Ceiling Fan Is off!) It's an inside joke, but someone knows what that means…
Carry on…
