am. including 3 x Laavuori

pm. left with map and course but gave up on it when I realised how impossible most of the locations were to reach on the bike due to the snow.

4%&17.5

Mostly upper and core.

5x Laajavuori (backside) + 1x little Laaja

Collecting reflectors (one hung incorrectly, oops). Possible to ski!

Really poor sleep last night. Head was buzzing after spending all evening trying to book flights to Portugal for the holidays. But good news is that knee responded normally to the strength training and is progressing faster than I expected as I was prepared this could last up to 2 months to resolve...although now that I write this I feel I may be cursing myself.

My GPS seems permanently, laughably lost, hidden among my daughters' many secret purses and compartments. M remembers playing with it but can't say more--of course blames L.

Ok, so this is fine for knee.

Very tentative because of the knee. Just some easy plyometrics and very light weights. Still felt a bit risky. Knowing when to start strength training, which particular movements, and at what intensities is always hard for me to figure out when I have a muscle/tendon injury of this kind (although every time I have followed physio's advice rather than my own intuitions on this question it has been disastrous). Just basic lunges without weight at all and step ups seems the prudent way to start. I did some squats but I am not sure this is a good idea.

Two kilos heavier than I should be. Quick solution: only fruit between meals.
