Monday - Planned rest day
Tuesday - Unplanned rest day to give my knee more of a break
Wednesday - Went for a run and it went ok. Did more walking than normal because of my knee but it was nice to get out there.
Thursday - treadmill at the gym. I mentioned that the branch of Gold's Gym I usually went to closed a couple months ago. I've been trying out other branches in the area and the one I tried out last week was the worst. The equipment was all pretty old. My initial plan was the elliptical but none of them seemed to work well. So I just went slow on the treadmill with lots of walking.
Friday - Videos from fitness blender, one for core and one for legs. These are the same ones I did last week.
We also went out for tacos and margaritas in the evening.
Saturday - Unplanned rest day. I had initially thought of doing a run this day but changed my mind so my legs were rested for my Sunday run. We met up with people for a friend's birthday brunch in the afternoon.
Sunday - 5 miles. I did 3.5 miles with Mike and I felt really good! It was a beautiful day and I wasn't having any knee pain. So I decided to keep going a bit longer on my own since I was enjoying the mild weather. This was perhaps not the best decision as I started experiencing knee pain around mile 4. But anyway, I finished 5 miles. I also worked a lot on recovery with icing, foam rolling, my foot/calf massager, and some recovery yoga in the evening.
I'm still sore today but it's not really knee pain. It's just generalized soreness in my thighs. So I'm hopeful that I didn't set my recovery back and I'll be able to get back on schedule this week. Here's the plan for this week.
Monday - Rest day
Tuesday - Speed work (1 mile warm up, 6 x 2 minutes, .5 mile cool down)
Wednesday - Strength training
Thursday - 3 easy miles
Friday - Strength training
Saturday - 3 miles
Sunday - 6 miles
I'm linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Rundown!
