So, I've been nursing a knee injury. Back in February, my knee mysteriously started hurting after a week of intense running. (21 miles, my best week ever) I haven't had any pain for about a week, and the Indy Mini is only 46 days away, so I decided it was now or never to resume my training. I spent 20 minutes on the elliptical today and it felt pretty good. I tried to keep the same level of METS that I had when I was running.... roughly 10 or so.
So, wish me luck as I get started again!

9 miles missing
There's 9 miles missing from my Nike+ page, 'cause I'm a big doofus and left my Nike+ receiver home..... twice!
But I just wanted to go on record as having run 4 miles last thursday (Jan 31) and 5.1 miles today! (Feb 4) I'm completely jazzed about having run 5 miles continuously. That is a huge milestone for me. I ran it on the treadmill at work, at a .5% grade and a 9:30 pace. The machine says I burned 850 calories. That's good, because I ate WAY too much crap at the Anti Super-Bowl Party. Don't get me wrong, it was good crap, but I ate too much of it.
Felt good to put a whoopin on GnC in the train game, tho.
But I digress. Summing up: 5.1 miles, a good chunk of my target of completing the Indy500 Festival half-marathon.
Woot!

Twoadays.
Somehow, I gained 5 pounds since new year's day. I guess I let my eating get away from me, because I didn't really reduce my exercise. In fact, I had been running more since then compared to my pre-holiday exercise.
Anyway... I finally got off my duff and rearranged the basement so that I would have room to do my P90-X down there. I started that on Tuesday. So, I'm running at work during the day, and then working out at home during the night. It's been working. I mostly picked up where I left off with the P90-X.... in week 5. That might have been a mistake... my arms are KILLING me. Like, to death. But, it's a good kind of feeling!
I have to go to Canada (eh?) on Sunday. I'm going to take my videos and resistance bands and try to work out in my room while I'm there. Hopefully they won't keep me so busy that I dont have the energy to work out.
Peace out!
