Finally went to the gym.
Finally started my schedule.
Finally.
Not only did I get to the gym last night but I had a GREAT workout! I had decided earlier that I would need to do todays scheduled easy run last night along with my long bike because I have a meeting tonight that will prohibit me from getting to the gym. Normally I would have just done my run this morning but after the dumping of snow we received over the weekend the paths are all icy and I am just not willing to risk a fall. And the treadmill first thing in the morning is just not something I can get excited about.
Speaking of falls- yesterday while I was cleaning off my car to come into work I fell on a slippery patch of ice. This was not shocking as my ENTIRE parking lot was a skating rink (fun for the whole family perhaps, but not for me!). So naturally I went down on my good knee and I am now sporting a vicious looking bruise on the outer left side of my kneecap. I guess its better than having went down on my already not quite functioning knee, but now instead of icing one at night I have to alternate the ice bag. Fun. Have I mentioned how forward I am looking to nice weather?
Despite the freshly hurting right knee and the sometimes still hurting left knee I still had a great, albeit, short run. I was thankful it was the easy day, thats for sure. 2 miles in 24:08 following a 17 mile bike in 48:00. Even did an abs workout before I called it a night. Score one extra for me 
Great job getting to the gym Jill. Hope the knee is nothing serious.
Thanks! I’ve been feeling great, just cant wait for nicer weather. Knee is healing- had a serious case of ITB syndrome and have been going through PT for @ 6 weeks. It was at the point I could barely walk, let alone run. After a lot of time off, ice, crazy amounts of stretching and PT…it seems I am getting back to normal.
I hope the knee(s) are feeling OK. PT stinks but it pays off great in the long run. I had to do it for a back injury years ago and it actually made me stronger and smarter. Stick with the basics they gave you to avoid injury in the future.
YAY awesome job getting to the gym! I find the first time after a break is the hardest.
