My daughter and I needed to go get our blood drawn again... this will probably be a monthly thing until we are both doing better with out thyroid stuff. Then we went to the gym. 4.2 on the elliptical at a moderate to moderately hard pace. My hubby showed up after he got off work, so I did a bit of arm weights with him. Then daughter and I did where you put your back against the wall then slide down until it's like you are sitting. This dosn't hurt my knee, but seems to be a good exercise for my quads, after that we did abs and streatched.

Probably the best thing that has happend because of my knee, is that my husband and daughter now participate in going to the gym and working out with me.

My exercise mojo had left me today... so I really struggled through getting myself to the gym and muddling through 4 miles on the elliptical. I did an interval workout to try and change it up a bit. The interval workout consisted of 5 minutes warm-up, then 2 min. moderate pace, 2 min. hard effort incline and pace. back and forth for the 2 min. until I got to 4 miles. then a bit of a cool down. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

An hour on the elliptical... my goal was to keep a pretty fast pace. Felt pretty good, then did a bit of weights... abs and stretching. Daughter was with me tonight :)

A quick 4.25 on the elliptical with about 5 intervals of high intensity. Then some weights, did more squats and leg machines also.

Worked out at the gym with hubby... lots of weights for back and arms, then some for legs. Did 3.00 on the elliptical then tried to run on the treadmill, only made it .80. I could not get a smooth feel to my run, it's not that it hurt so much... just felt uneven. Hard to explain.

Met Sue at the parkway, it was a bit rainy and very windy. I told her I was probably going to have to walk some of the time and she was fine with that. She brought me a knee brace that her hubby had used for a while. It's neoprean with a padded donut shape around the knee cap, and the knee cap area open. So I was able to run/walk pretty good today!! We ran down to the 21stree pond, around the pond then back to the Monroe street parking lot where we started. By the time we stopped it was coming down pretty good. I personally love this!! it made be feel like a real runner, someone who runs no matter what! I have not felt that in a while.
