Another step closer!!

Todays workout was not groundbreaking but it did however bring me another step closer to meeting my goal!! I feel good and my knee seems to be ok so far. I am continuing to take the dreaded ice baths along with icing my knee twice a night. Hopefully all the effort will pay off!! I ran well today and again increased my intervals, so I am assuming that my knee is getting stronger and soon I will be back to my long runs. I made it through a few of Cathe's Cardio Drills with my knee with the exception of the jacks in one of the drills. The plyo jacks were fine,but for some reason the standard "jumping" jacks were giving me problems with my knee so I just kept doing the plyo jacks (a jack with a plyo squat).

60 mins cardio - 30 mins of Cathe Warm up and various cardio drills from her Drill Max DVD and walking warm up at 4.0 mph along with a 30 min non stop run with intervals of 7.0 mph and 8.5 mph with recovery at 5.5 mph - 6.2 mph.
