Running

Took 600 mg of Ibuprofin. Ran walked about 0.6 on the TM. Felt pain. Did the elliptical for 20 min. Minor pain at the beginning, but then I think the medicine kicked in and I felt better. Ran 1 mile on the TM with minor uncomfortableness coming and going. Ran the mile in just under 8 min. The lungs were burning.

Walked for 5 min.  Ran/walked about .5 and then started feeling pain so I stopped.  Elliptical for 40 min.  Going to the gym and before I started my workout I was hopeful that I would be able to run some miles.  It's a start.  Went to the PT yesterday.  Did some exercises, a cortisone treatment, and he taped it.

50 more min. on the elliptical in the evening.  Sweated a ton and it felt good.  Glad I went.

Swim for 50 min.

Swim 1 hour.  Knee pain is rather minor right now during daily activities.  I will occasionally feel some pain throughout the day when I straighten the leg or at other times (at times I will feel it while swimming). 

PM - Lift for 25 min and then elliptical for 45 min.

Run/walk 4.87 in 51:22.  Alright.  Feels like some progress has been made.  Started by walking .25 and then I started a light run.  There was almost always a slight pain in the knee with occasional bursts of more pain that would come and go.  I stopped and walked for a bit about 3 different times, but overall I'm encouraged by things today.  We will see how it feels throughout the rest of the day.  PT appt. this morning.

3.95 in 37:39.  It was a run/walk.  Sharp pain that would come and go, but overall, it's some more progress.

Lifted for 55 min and then swam for 2 hours.  I went for 1:17 straight, which is a record for me.  I hit the 2 mile mark at about 1:04.  I would have kept going after the 1:17, but I got a cramp in my calf and it stopped me dead in my tracks.  Continued on doing different things until I hit the 2 hour mark.  Did the 3.95 running/walking when I got home.  Also, weighed myself at the gym and was surprised to see about 162ish.  That means I've probably put on about 3-4 lbs since I basically had to quit running.  Not bad.

Went to PT yesterday morning.  Did some exercises and another cortisone treatment.  The knee throbbed in the evening while sitting for a while.
