K+54 Days Post Microfracture Surgery

BYU is back in school so my work schedule is picking up again as well. So a long day with Physical Therapy at the end of the day and then watching James run a Cross Country race. He ran a 2K race in Kiwanis Park and won by a good distance. Check his blog out to see his results after he posts them tomorrow.

Today included 2.5 hours on bike for a total of 30 miles on the bike. I did a sub 12:00 5K on the bike today towards the end.

Also did several hours of strength exercise at home for about 200 reps with 5lbs of weights on leg.

Then spent my normal 2 hours at physical therapy as well.

A long day and time for rest.

K+55 Days

Very sick today with bad head cold. Still managed to gt in about an hour on the bike and the normal strength exercises. Long day at work to top it off and just crashed when I got home. 

K+56 Days (Eight weeks post microfracture surgery!)

Still very sick today but forced myself to get in 2 hours on the bike 2 hours of physical therapy and about 1.5 hours of extra strength exercises. A long miserable day being sick but refused to let it stop me from doing what needs to be done. I would write more details but I need to crash again.

K+57 days

About and hour on the bike and 200 reps of strength exercises. Walking is slowing getiing easier. 

K+58 Days

300 strength reps today and 1 hour on the bike plus lots of standing and walking today. Knee still gets stiff towards the end of long days like this but it does seem to be progressing.
