First day downhill skiing with my knee injury. Was a little tentative but all went well. Felt good to get out. Knee felt tired but didn't tweak it at all.

Tough upper body and core work out today. Wore my Heart Rate Monitor. High heart rate of 178 bpm! I was working hard. 4 min. finisher or planks 20 sec and skating 20 sec.

Night O in Lakeview. Street/neighborhood Orienteering.

Knee felt it running in the snow across the school fields. Not really ready for that yet! A little longer than planned, but I made it and found all of the control flags. Very tired by the end with the morning Tabata work out as well.

Tabata interval workout. 50 sec/10 sec. 5 exercises repeat 4 times. 4 min. closer-20sec/10sec-8 reps. Warm up and cool down.

A killer upper body work out day. I can feel my arms and chest already!

My first real run since injuring knee in mid Nov. 2009. Got the okay to do some easy walk/run training. Knee felt good after the x-country skiing, so gave running a try. Stayed on path for most of way. Some uneven terrain through Princes' Island Park. Feel the weakness in my left hamstring and calf. Some knee pain near the end of the run. Subsided with walk break of 1 min. Felt good to get out again!
