Well, it's been a while but I'm finished with PT after my knee issues and so I hit the gym. With all the snow and ice we've had, I wasn't going to chance a twisted knee or ankle. Plus, I wasn't sure how far this overweight, out of shape body was going to be able to go.
Since I've got a little extra fat, I hopped on the TM and did the "Fat Burner" program for 20:00 after a nice long warmup, then a nice long cool down, stretching and hit the showers.
Kept it super slow and just focused on form and being hyper aware of how everything was feeling. No strains and no pains, so I'm happy about that. I think I'll do some core work tomorrow and rest the legs/knee to make sure it's not going to complain.
Next race is the Scranton Half in mid-April, so I'll work towards that, but with basically 2 months to get back in shape, I'll be focusing on getting stronger and just enjoying the race!
Very glad to be back!
