I have been given the green light to run and I have been running on my own. Man, it sucks getting back into shape. I'm pushing myself and I just don't have the extra gear yet. However, I'm going to be changing up my workouts starting next week. Before, I was just doing steady state or slightly tempo runs. With my 1st workout next week, I'm going to be doing intervals. I know that in order to get faster, I'm going to have to push myself and get my heart rate up. Intervals are a great way to do that. I actually don't mind doing 8-10x400 on the track. It's going to hurt but it'll be worth it in the long run. I just have to start pushing myself more with structure speed work instead of lazy long runs.
My knee is feeling better though. I got a cortisone injection into the plica of my right knee almost 2 weeks ago. It seems to be helping! I still have some pain in my knee but it is much less now. It's very odd with my knee pain. I went a did a 5 mile run on Thursday and was sore for a couple of days after. Yesterday, I did 7 miles and I didn't have any issues at all afterwards. Weird, but I'll take it.
Gym stuff is still going well. My trainer and I are pushing each other. I'm still sore 2 days later after Friday's workout. I used to be focused on weight, but I can tell that my body comp is changing. My weight isn't really getting to the goal that I want but my jeans are getting skinner and my shirts are getting tighter. Either way, I'm continuing towards my goal of looking good naked.
And I still love snowboarding.
