| 5:15 p.m. after physical therapy. 5 min. recumbent cycling. 20 minutes elliptical. 3 mile TM, very easy. First run of the year. Knee, ITB issue feeling a bit better. Felt good to run again. Therapist wants me to ease into running slowly and stopping if I have an issue. So far, so good. No running until Thursday. Knee still feels very vulnerable to getting worse, s I need to be cautious. |

| Gold's Gym with Sharon at 8:45 a.m. 20 minutes elliptical and 25 minutes light upper body weight repetitions, 3 x 15 x6 machines. Then hit the roads after. First run on the asphalt since the last Saturday of December, not counting my aborted one. 5 slow and easy miles in 48:55. ITB feels at about 90-95%. Still aching in both knee caps, but I've been dealing with that one for almost 2 years. Pretty sure that's called old age. Nice sunny day. |
