Happy Valentine's Day!
A week ago yesterday....I put myself out of commision by injuring my left knee. I have rested, iced, taken LOTS of alieve and only xt for a week. My knee is feeling much better! Last night I gave the treadmill a whirl....I started by warming up and stretching, then proceeded at a 2:4 pace for about 23 minutes. Afterwards, I stretched, iced and took more alieve. I'm excited to say that it went well(no severe knee pain during of after)....but I'm discouraged by the amount of time involved(pre/post stretch, ice,etc), and the fact that I felt like I had never run before! I knew when I started back, that I would have to take it slow....but how in a week's time did I lose the ability to run at all??? The audio about stretching and icing was great! Using frozen peas....as funny as that sounds.....works great! Don't know about sitting in ice cold water though?! Tonight, I'm off to the gym for my xt. It will consist of strenth training and the elliptical. How is everyone preparing for the extreme cold temperatures predicted for Saturday?

You have plenty of time to recoup that vigor! Don't sweat it - stay the course.
