on the mend. i think.

February 11, 2011

after 5 weeks of downtime things are starting to show real signs of improvement.  on wednesday night, for the first time since the beginning of the new year, i went for a run outside, and although i wasn't feeling 100% i got through it without any issues.  and things felt great afterwards.  irritation on the bike seems to be disappearing as well, and last night in the pool my knee hardly fussed.  i'm away for the next week and am hoping that after yet another easy week of little or no training i'll be ready to start ramping things up in preparation for orlando.  i'm being cautious of my optimism because i don't want to get too excited, but i'm feeling like i'm finally starting to get past this.  i'll tread lightly until my strength is back and will ease into it, but here's hoping my body cooperates.
