3 weeks and no running.

So 3 weeks have passed with no running, and this has been less irritating than I would have imagined. Probably because I know the back of the leg is still not 100% and therefore I am not going to risk running until after I see the physio again on Weds for an update on where we are at. On the plus side, I have been to the gym a fair bit and have been doing a pretty solid amount of weights and doing some interval stuff on the stationary bike.  Tomorrow will see the mountain bike used on the ride to/from work (20mile round trip), and I may try and do this 3 times this week, and then a 20+ miler at the weekend. And fingers crossed, I will get the ok to get out for a gentle run.

Happy Running (or maybe that should be Gyming, not even sure that is a word!)

Gym - I think I remember where it is.

I found my way to the Gym this evening. Stayed away from the BIG weights, as I knew there was little chance of shifting them, but pleasantly surprised that my skinny runners arms managed to pick up and move some fairly good KG's. So until the rear of the left knee is 100% the gym will be my friend, the stationary bike will not, it is soooo boring when you can't go hard on the pedals (I think my HR peaked at 80bpm),
but will be tolerated in the quest for return to running and to try and keep a modicum of fitness.
Who knows, the upshot of the gym work may be that I gain a few pounds and get a bit stronger over the next couple of weeks, and that can't be all bad.
