We had a full day yesterday with all the running around for Kelly's race so it was nice to be in bed by 10pm. An added benefit was that I was able to get up early enough before church to go for a hour walk. I was a little bit slower today than usual, but I am going to blame Rosco's frequent pee stops for that. Is it really necessary to leave your mark on EVERY mailbox we pass? The weather was great today so I was also able to ride for 70 minutes after church. I was able to get some bike strength work in because it felt like I was pedaling into a headwind the whole ride. I also made sure to do a few hills in a big gear at the end of my ride. Because of the conditions my speed was about 17mph and I covered 20 miles total.
My knee has been feeling pretty good. I am not seeing the rapid improvement that I was over the course of the first month, but I feel that little by little things are getting better. I do still have some pain and discomfort at times, and my knee is a achy at the end of the day. I have to keep reminding myself that I am only 7 weeks past my surgery and that the healing that I have experienced so far is pretty extraordinary. I am continuing to do all my PT exercises and strength building work and making sure not to do any more than what Dr. Karyn has told me I can do.
Since I have decided to scale back my upper body work I did not do any extra workouts today. Tomorrow I will swim in the morning, and try to get in a walk or a ride in the afternoon, along with some core work.
I did weigh in this morning:
Weight: 156lbs (down 2 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.5% (no change)
