Upper weights before sitting in a conference all day resting my knees :)

Came home from the conference last night with a lot of swelling on my left knee.  Trying to do some research, I think the pain might be internal, not external.  Probably not a good idea that I ran 25 miles this first week after my fall.  Better take a few days off with ice + ibuprofin, uggghhh!

P90X Shoulders & Chest - I think I'm just about healed, I'm going to NOT run just one more day. Hope to do a short run tomorrow as a test to see if I'm healed, I sure hope so!

Decided to walk the park outside as it was such a beautiful afternoon, thought it would be good to see how my knee did before a short run tomorrow, it did great, no swelling at all :)

Abs!

Morning weights, both upper and lower plus ab workout!

Ran around the park with Remington (no idea where he gets his energy from, kicks my bum). Then power walked while visting with my friend on the phone for her birthday!

Ran the 10K Iron Girl route this morning at an 8:32 pace.  Ran last mile home at a 8:31 pace!  Awesome weather, cool and overcast.  Left hip was bothering me for about half the run, probably due to too many lunges yesterday at PE!

Ran around the beautiful resort in Sedona, then spent time in the awesome work-out room (all to myself - yay) doing upper weights, abs, and steam room!  I could get used to this place :)
