-  time: 23:53
Underwater work
20x pull ups, 50x push ups, 50x 4CFK

Notes
  • Body: Quads are feeling ripped up from Monday's workout.  I think it might be from the run from the pool to the track, since it's all down hill.  Tibia's seems to be alright.  Knee seems to be alright, a little inflammed feeling.
  • PST: Obviously not my strongest showing.  Swim wasn't too bad, the PT scores were about par (although I need to make sure I'm extending all the way up on push ups).  Run time was terrible, but somewhat expected after not running for 6 weeks and recovering from an injury.
  • Workout: Pretty good.  Opted out of lunges and instead did more bear crawls, which got easier but are still difficult.  Overall, lots of push ups today.
  • Run: Ran ~3 miles today.  Shins seemed to feel fine.  Knee a little tight.  I don't believe I'm quite ready to get back into safely running yet.

Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Rest Day

No workout.  Glute med work, stretching, icing, rolling out, etc.

Notes
  • Body: Quads are totally destroyed today.  Initially I thought it was from the squats, but now I'm thinking it was because of the downhill run from the pool to the track.  Right tib feels better today, which is good.  Knee feels ok.

Follow-up with doctor regarding progress of my knee.

Notes

  • Workout: Good stuff.  No PST today since motivators could not make it, but I worked out with the other candidates who were present.  Took the running relatively easy, and kept the squats in check.  I will PST on Wednesday.
  • Doc Visit: Positive overall.  Knee has been improving but is not there yet.  She says I can gradually return to activities beginning with physical therapy.  Also listed some shots as options to aid in the healing.
  • Run: About 2.5 miles total today.  Felt alright, definitely need to ease back into things.  Right tibia had some irritation during the run.
