Tues., 6/14: I worked out today--did you?

[MissMillie]

I jogged 1.6 miles (my knee just didn't want to do the other .4). Then I did 1/2 of my upper-body routine in the weight room.


I talked to one of the guys at the fitness center about the knee and it thinks the problem is muscular (given my symptoms). He's going to show me some exercises I can do to rebuild strength to get back to my regular runs.

1. You should really go see a doc rather than some guy

in the weight room. I plan to do 40minutes on elliptical today. I'll get back to you once I've done that.

2. I have an appt. w/ my PCP tomorrow

So, I'm not leaving the doc totally out of the picture.

The guy in the weight room actually works at the fitness center as a trainer, so he's not totally clueless. I figured to talk to him, and to my doctor and see what I can do to make the knee stronger. Honestly, I don't think it's injured, I just think maybe it's not very strong.

3. I did! Aerobic video, upper body weights & yoga.

The last few days I wake up pretty easy & have the energy to work out, but when I am done I am totally exhausted. I have to drag my ass to the shower, drag my ass to get ready & really drag my ass to work.
I thought working out was suppose to give me energy.

4. Did the one mile thing

this morning before the rain started.....

small weight workout.....followed by coffee with friends....they had sweet rolls or donuts.....I had coffee, no sugar....came home and devoured an orange and a banana.

5. Finally back on track week 3 day 2

This week its 150 situps/pushups.
Did the situps this AM in 3 sets. Got 60 pushups down, will finish the rest throughout the day.
Now the question is do I make up the 3 days I missed, or just let them pass?

6. I did...

CIA 2K06: Cardio Step Attack Plus Body Strength, but I struggled. Yesterday I had an 8-hour graduate workshop course, then another class that ran from 6-9:30 pm. I'm exhausted! :-O

7. I commuted again -- still need to go home.

The ride to work was HOT -- but I'm actually getting more used to the heat now that I'm in it more.

My knee was also beginning to bother me. I had problems with it a couple of years ago and went to PT for it. Strengthening certain muscles really does make a difference and I think I'm doing that through cycling but may have tried to peddle too hard today. I plan to gear down and spin more.
