Trails!

Two easy miles (9:54, 10:51) with Bethany and the kids on the Planet Walk.  Leg felt great.  Maybe the slower pace is ok for it.  I borrowed a killer plug-in massager (for the last few days) that is doing wonders for the leg muscles.  I imagine it is helping the progress.

No runnning today. 45 min walking on the Treadmill.  Leg felt fine.

Spent the evening replacing a motherboard and re-installing software on the home PC.  I spent much of thanksgiving building a PC for someone.  I am now officially retired.  From now on, I recommend buying a Dell.  I didn't think I would ever say that. 

.5 Mile walking (4mph) on the Treadmill, followed by 1 mile of running (6mph), followed by .5 mile walking (4mph), followed by 1 mile of running (6mph), followed by .25 walking again.  No soreness int the knee then or now.  My right hamstring is starting to tighten up a bit now, so I will have to make an effort to walk around a lot today at work.  Nice and easy...So far so good...

Alternated walking (4mph) on the TM and using the elliptical. Would rotate every 7:30. The elliptical was definetly harder. Decent workout for rehap.

T-40 min

Late Evening, watched part of a movie while walking. Threw in one mile of jogging at 6mph. Felt great.

T-65 min

Treadmill again in the morning. Sure beats freezing outside. 1/2 mile walk, mile run, 1/2 mile walk, mile run, 1/2 mile walk. Noticed the leg the second mile. Might be too much too soon. Registered as a 1 on the pain scale.

 Some more walking on the TM in the evening.  Afterward watched Blades of Glory.  Hilarious

45 min walking in the morning.

I feel better now after a short run in the evening on the treadmill.  I wanted to run to see whether I need to see a doc or continue a slow buildup.  Tonights run was without pain or weirdness in the legs so I take that as a sign to continue the slow buildup.  I ran 3 miles in 27:30 then walked 1/4 mile cooldown.  I wanted to keep it really easy, so I kept the speed between 6mph and 7mph and changed the speed every 30 seconds up and down the ladder.  Kept the incline at 1%.
