Today was another great day. My workout was sluggish at first, during my warm up walk, my knee started to bother me again. I think I have to face the fact that I am going to have to visit the doctor and see what is the problem. So my cardio today was mostly walking with a short slow jog mixed in.  The intensity of my weight lifting more than made up for my lack of running today. I lifted all low weights today with very high reps, much like I did on Friday, moving quickly from one set to another.
