Weekly Report:

I am trying to get back into the swing of things.  It has been a LONG and challenging experience trying to get healthy again.  This injury is something I have never experienced and it won't seem to go fully away.  I am to the point where I can run without any pain and when I finish it never seems to get worse, but it has never fully gone away.  At times when I am running I will stop and stretch the quad and that seems to loosen it up and make things feel better.  My cardio is getting back to where it was before I had to take my break so I am thrilled with that.  

At this point I will continue to focus on my stretching and stability workouts with my runs.  I was also happy with my week.  I took 1 day off just to give the legs a chance to rest but this week should include a run every day.

Weekly Report:

This was a good week for me.  I was able to run every day and overall I felt good.  My body is starting to feel stronger and I am able to keep the same pace I ran before all of this.  Still working on the endurace part but that will slowly be built up.  My knee is still not totally healthy but it seems to get a little less irritating with every week.  This week I rode the trainer twice but this was about the only time I could.  I shoot for 2 workouts a day but it's just hard and my body fights me on it.  At this point I am happy with just getting back to my pre-injury fitness and being able to have a daily run.

I'm going to continue to switch off between a 2-3 mile run and a 5-6 mile run daily.  This seems to be working well for me.  At this point the mileage will slowly start to creep back up but nothing dramatic.  I plan on running about 25 miles this week and getting as many rides in as I can.  I will also be shooting for at least one swim this week.  I haven't found time the last couple weeks and I am missing it.

Weekly Review:

I am still healing.  I guess that's the big take home message.  The goal for the week was around 25 miles and I got pretty close.  I find that I have to really take care of my patellar tendon area with stretching and other things but I am learning to manage it.  I'm not sure when this will completely heal but nothing seems to be getting worse.  I have times where it bother me a little more than others but overall even the bad times calm down.

My endurance is really starting to come back and I am happy with that.  My splits have got faster with little effort and from a cardio standpoint I feel much better than a month ago.  Once this goes away I think I will be a stronger and better runner because of it.

I got 1 swim in this week but no biking.  The goal for next week will be getting that added into my schedule and cross training.
