Just Keep Going
Jan. 9th, 2008 09:23 amJust a quick update.
Two days ago was a cardio day for me at the gym. That morning, the Rogers guy was dropping by to install my new landline so I couldn't get to the gym before the afternoon. By that time, it was packed. Still, I managed to get the one remaining stationary bike for my warm-up, and then a treadmill became available just when I needed it.
I ran for 10 minutes. That was a new personal, post-surgery record, beating my previous maximum of 9 minutes, achieved on December 24th. As usual, I could feel my weight starting to be carried more through my patella tendon (or ligament?) instead of my leg muscles towards the end. I stopped, amazed. My previous best since arriving here was 4.5 minutes before my patella starting acting up.
Today was another cardio day. I ran for...21 minutes! And this time I didn't feel any strain under my kneecap. I stopped because I didn't want to push things too much, but it felt like I could have continued until my lungs gave out.
