20 min elliptical then I cheated on my recommended "no running for 2-4 weeks" and did 25 min on treadmill. Even though I told myself is avoid the treadmill lol! I did run a little slower and did less mileage. After about 1.5 mi my side started hurting and I was like "why the hell did I want to run??". Lol. My knee was ok- we will see if it's sore tomorrow. The PT recommended running at an incline (between .5-1) and that was interesting. Not so much harder bc it's not much of an incline, but a little different stride. More of a stride than a clump-clump-clump motion. It's a quieter stride. Try it-- if you do treadmill.

And then I did 45 min of weights. So 1.5 hours today.

Feb 4- spinning 1 hour plus 30 min abs.

Feb 5- elliptical 15 min, treadmill 30 min, and weights 45 min.

Feb 6- tried Zumba. 1 hour. It was kinda ugly bc I really can't dance lol! But I have a couple of friends going next week so I'll prob try again and see if I pick it up. A lot of pivoting though and that might not be smart given my knee issue...

Total to date : 25.5 hours

I'm feeling fine-- funny that my other knee sort of hurts now. Oh well. I have my PT exercises to do to strengthen my quads and that should help. My knee pain is sporadic and minimal now- I do ice after I run though. Frozen peas... My knees hurt a bit after Zumba-so I'm going to wait another week or so before I try that again. A lot of pivoting. I'm finding my athletics in the growing years probably did effect me-- all that volleyball!! Lots of jumping, quick bursts, etc etc.

Anyway...

To add to the log- Thursday feb 9- took dd in to get her signed up for the gym, which wasted 40 min of my workout (and chidcare) time. Oh well.

Ran for 35 min on treadmill, then 25 min weights. 1 hour total.

Saturday feb 11-- took my dh to my killer 1 hour spin class. Most classes are 45 min. Dh was sore!!! But he did well. Then I did some weights for 30 min. 1.5 hrs

Monday feb 13-- ran on treadmill for 45 min, then weights for 45. Total 1.5.

Total: 36 hrs

Th went to gym w dd16- I ran for 45 min then did weights with dd for 1:15

Sat spinning 1 hr and abs 30 min

My knee is hanging in there. Mild pain if I don't ice (oops) but no swelling. I think this is par for the course...

When I took dd16 into the gym we met w a personal trainer for about 2 min (orientation stuff for dd) and he said- "how are you two related?". I roll my eyes a little... "I'm her mother". He says "noooo, I thought you were sisters....". THAT'S how I know I'm looking my age these days lol. I never used to hear ultra cheesy lines like that!!
