Have you seen those Windows 7 comercals where the person thinks back and in their mind and they are much more attractive. That is probably how this run was... I just could not stand the thoughts of being in the gym on the elliptical or treadmill today so I talked my daughter into doing a run/walk with me. She wants to do a 5K soon and has not run much so I knew having her there with me would keep me from running too much or too fast on my knee. We did a 5 min run/jog (averaged about a 10:40mm) followed by a 3 min walk. Repeated 4 times for a total of 20 minutes of running. My knee bugged just the tiniest of bits at the first, but by the third/four run it was feeling a bit better. So in my mind I was an olimpic runner, but the reality was an old lady shuffle LOL. I have to say it felt fantastic to be out doing it, even if it was slow. Seeing my daughter want to start running is great! Most 17 year old girls can't stand hanging with their moms, but she really wants hang out and run with me.
Tomorrw I will be on my own, my daughter has some after school things. So I won't run even on the treadmill and give my knee a break. Plan on high intencity on the elliptical for 5-6 miles. Then some upper body weights and abs. |
