As my knee continues to feel better and better each day, I'm trying to increase my cadence on the bike and my walking pace. I'm not a great bike rider so I am focusing on improving my bike while I am unable to run. I'm pretty confident that once I can run again, that will come back quickly. I have noticed that my walking pace is increasing, as I am covering more ground in the same amount of time. I mapped my walking route around the subdivision and I was really surprised at how far I went in 50 minutes. At this point I am able to cover about 3.25 miles. That's a pretty good sign that I should have more than enough time to complete IMLP even with the amount of walking that I will have to do. When the event gets closer I will figure out how much I am going to be able to run, how much I will have to walk and what my paces will be. From there I can figure out what my pace will need to be on the bike and what my finish time will be. At this point I would be OK with 16 hours and 59 minutes if that's what it takes.
As always, I am making sure to complete all of my rehab exercises twice a day, and I did another 50 minute ride this morning. After my appointment yesterday, I am trying to be a bit more conscious of bending my leg too far during my rehab work.
As promised, I weighed in this morning when I woke up. I did lose a pound this week in spite of Easter Sunday and the trip to the BBQ place. I'm still not sure about the accuracy of the body fat reading though because it did increase a percent even though I lost a pound.
Weight: 159 (down 1lb)
Body fat: 17.7% (up 1+%)
Today's workout was pretty tough because I didn't eat enough prior:
Pull-ups 6x15
Push-ups 6x22
