On the upswing

My knee does not hurt. I have been limiting workouts to the bike and elliptical for the past 9 days. I will continue with things like my son being here this week, having my time, and loving lifting weights.  So I will stay in the gym for the week. I was a little nervous about my knee but feeling better. It still has a little twinge, but I will be OK with a little more time off. I am really looking forward to LSD runs in the parks… I just need to get outside. I am so far behind the idols in my realm... Julie Berg did 50 miles in the cold and 14 miles the next day. Adam H, slowed by a minor injury, is packing in the workouts very analytically. It is good to have people who inspire us humans to get off the duff and get on the trails.

I joined the Upper Midwest Trail Runner group. I think this will be an outstanding site for bringing so much information into one place to simplify coordinating and finding activities. I am excited and glad to see so many great running minds in charge… It will surely be a success, and I am happy to have the opportunity to support the effort.

Besides that change, I look forward to riding my bike to work this week. Weather looks positive and I am so excited. Work is only just under four miles and it takes me 13-15 minutes by bike (door to door) and 8-12 minutes by car. Easy decision if the weather if right.

Carry on…

Londell, sounds like you've been smart with the knee... glad to hear it's getting better. See you at Superior if not before.

Welcome to the UMTR! Take care off that knee and I'll see you on the trails.

Hey Londell,
If you're healthy enough will you be going down to Larry's Zumbro run in April? I'm doing everything I can to make it work.
