More of nothing..

45 min on elliptical and PT.  I'm doing the exercises for PT on both legs, so it takes twice as long, but I figure it's better to do both, even though the left is the weaker one.

Hoping for a good PT tonight & tomorrow.  I'd love to get permission to run a little over the holiday week.

after .5 mile warm up, the 2 miles were great & felt good.  Ran really slow, just like the PT told me to- better slow than not at all.

2 miles on the treadmill at the hotel.  Aaarrrrggggghhhhh.  Not a treadmill fan. 

Kept it slow- 10:20 to 10:30.  After warming up, things feel good.  The tape on my knees really seems to work :-)

woke up & did 30 min on the bike & 30 min on elliptical.

Then spent the rest of the am on the beach in Daytona, soaking up the sun & playing in the water.  Waaayyyyy better than standing in the kitchen all day cooking food that doesn't ever turn out right. 

Went for a "jog" around noon.  3 miles total, slow pace.  felt good.  Wished I was cleared to run more.

Had a delicious Havana sandwich for dinner.  With sweet potato fries :-) delicious.  No dishes, no work - no problem!! 

Saw Harry Potter & had Cold Stone for dessert.  That is something to be thankful for, all right.

when I got up, the tape on my knee was pretty much all peeling off.  I left on what I could, but most of it was gone.  So I wore my knee band & did a very slow 3 miles, with stopping in between to take photos.

I ran on the beach as the sun rose over the water.  It was cloudy, but still spectacular. 

The knee just didn't feel as good without the tape on.  No sharp pains, but ached more.

A couple hours later, we climbed the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse.  Beautiful view.  Then, after climbing up all 200 stairs, I realized going down the stairs hurt like crazy.  My knee couldn't stand the down.  I had to grab onto the handrails and walk down each step sideways to keep the pain from flaring up.

So that sucked.  A lot. 

We had 7-11 chili cheese dogs for lunch & drove home.  Hope one day my little buccaneer gets a pilot's license and can fly to me to the beach for all my holiday visits, and then I won't have the dreaded long ride home in the car. 

All in all, a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday vacation.  And not one turkey lost it's life to me :-)

20 minute quick morning elliptical visit.

All the tape is gone from my knee.  My knee hurts still when I go down stairs or bend down on it.  I decided to take a good bike ride, so I went out for 10.5 miles and then came back & tried a little jog.

I still had to walk for a warm up & I wore my knee band.  After .5 miles, I was able to run, but only very, very slowly.  If I tried to speed up, I could feel my knee scream at me.
