I wanted to post this one early so I don't forget again. Also, I finished up all my workouts and PT exercises early so I need something to do while I ice. Today was my first time riding clipped in since the surgery. Like I said before, I want to so some rides on the trainer while clipped in to see how my knee reacts and if I can clip out. I loosened the retention on the right pedal as much as I could and clipping out is pretty easy. When I am out on the road I will try to make a conscious effort to clip out on the left side if I need to come off the pedals because it's a little uncomfortable to make the twisting motion that is needed. I thought that I would need to adjust the angle of my cleats to ease any stress on the knee, but thankfully the 60 minute ride this morning felt just fine, so that won't be necessary.
I took Rosco on my walk today (it was Hank's turn yesterday) and we went a little farther than usual. I started out a bit slow but picked up the pace and walked 4.6 miles in 66 minutes. There were a few stops in there to watch the neighbor kid pitch a couple of innings at the high school along the way.
Since I doubled up on strength workouts yesterday, I didn't do anything today. I will pick up with core work tomorrow.
Almost forgot...I did weigh in this morning but it might be a bit off because I forgot do it before my morning ride.
