Running

Lifted for about 30 minutes.  Walked on the TM for about 8 min and then rode the stationary bike for about 17-18 min.

Swam for about 55 min.  Lots of people at the pool.  Might be getting a bit sick as I had a hard time catching my breath, which made it difficult to swim.  Planning on giving running a try tomorrow morning.  The knee has little to no pain ever since the cortizone shot.

6.18 in 54:11.  About 8:45 pace.  First day back running since getting the cortisone shot last Friday morning.  I was hoping to run pain free, but that was not the case.  There was pain the whole run after about 1/2 mile into the run.  The pain doesn't have an edge to it like it did before though.  We'll see how it feels throughout the day.

Lifted for 35 min and then walked the track at the L.C.  Walked at least a mile.  Tried to do the stationary bike, but pain was there every time I would pedal.

Pretty good amount of pain throughout the day yesterday after running.  Lots of runners I've talked to are mostly skeptical of going to see a physical therapist, but I went yesterday afternoon.  I worked with this PT last summer and I'm willing to give it a try.  He looked at things and has given me some more stretches/exercises to do in addition to what the doctor gave me.  Feels like I'm just tight everywhere.  He also taped it to try and help keep it better aligned.  That seemed to help yesterday, but not so much this morning.  Seems like I just complain a lot on my blog now, but really I just want to have a good record of what's happening.  I'm going to try to be more upbeat about this.  Looks like swimming is going to be the thing for me for the near future.  

Swam for 50 minutes.  Probably about 1.5 miles, which is slow for 50 minutes, but I do some kicking only stuff for part of the time.  Good workout.

Lifted weights for an hour and then swam for 2 hours.  Good workout.
