My knee has been uncomfortable for a couple of days, but there isn't any real pain at this point (unless I move to quickly or try something too ambitious). It was 6 weeks since surgery yesterday and had hoped that all the swelling would be gone by now, but it seems that its a bit more swollen today than it was yesterday. Dr. Karyn assured me that its part of the healing process and its normal so I'm OK with it. I have been doing quite a bit lately and even though my 20 mile return to the road yesterday felt good, I'm sure that is somewhat to blame.
Today I was only able to do one workout because of the timing of my PT and track practice so I walked this morning. I did 4.1 miles in an hour which is a bit slower than usual. I'm blaming Hank because he felt it necessary to pee on everything during our walk.
PT went well once again and even though it doesn't feel like it, I know that progress is being made. I still have the same exercises with a few modifications to make them more challenging. The goal is to have equal strength and movement in both legs and to make them both stronger for the bike portion of the race. She also said that it's time to start working in recovery days because I am actually starting to train as opposed to just staying mobile.
I was able to get in a core workout today as well:
Core 13x25
Planks 4x1min
