Upper body ST with my first run since my knee injury!

Today was awesome! I lifted hard, and I ran for the first time in weeks since my knee injury! I could not help myself today. I felt as if I was going to burst if I did not run, I miss it so much. I only ran for 11 mins with a high speed of 5.5 mph, so I kept it slow and steady but I was so excited to be running and best of all - without pain! Hopefully tomorrow I can do this again and slowly increase my time as long as the swelling keeps down and I am pain free.

So do you do your 45 min am walk before your upper body workout and THEN do more cardio?

ONe more question: How do you drink your green tea? I have the tea bags but that stuff it pretty grose. Do you drink it cold or hot? And you use multiple bags per 20 oz water?
