Note
keeping my skiing classic this year due to the knee and healing.....skating would be ok but likely would put more stress on the knee as its slowly healing.....still hurts a bit and gets tight...comes and goes depending on what I am doing....
saw the doc yesterday and some of the residual pain is arthritis in my knee which the surgery has caused to flare up....hopefully, it will calm down a bit but I am prepared to live with some annoying pain the rest of my life if necessary. I plan to start ramping up my run soon but I don't need to run until March so I am not going to rush it....I can work around everything with cross training...
aging allows us to adapt and keep going.....

Run 5:01 [3]
treadmill with Hoka....12:30 pace.....wanted to test the knee on the run fresh. ramping slowly....at 5 min it felt tight and weak/unstable with some pain...decided 5 minutes was a good step forward...
eliptical machine 1:01:22 [3]
ahr:117
a bit more effort than recently....
9 x 1:30 "no hands" on 5 minutes....I figure the required balancing is similar to some rehab exercises and and strengthens the quads...also figure this is a decent run substitute at the moment.

eliptical machine 31:37 [3]
went heavy 20lb x 15....
circuit work and worked in core/rehab exercises to make this a aerobic circuit training session.....expanded obviously to bring the knee along (strengthen quad and other muscles to take some strain off the patella and knee joint).....expanded strength training is my future. Now....if I could retire like Ian...have more time to do the stretching I sorely needed I will develop a program to keep me in the game a long a possible...

xc classic skiing 54:51 [3]
ahr:124
with Kari at Hyland this morning after kindergarten drop off and skipping a meeting at work (they are typically useless)
...easier paced ski......I would like to ski other places but this is so convenient and the conditions are always world cup....
.we have enough skiing for our upcoming European tour....I was hoping that Kari and I would both get enough ski training in to be able to go at a decent pace for 28K and soak in the landscape and experience and I think we are both there....

xc classic skiing 1:15:49 [3]
21F...loops at Hyland...testing new skin skis I bought for training and difficult (32F or ice conditions).....they were a bit faster than my waxable world cup atomic classic race skis with appropriate full blown wax jobs??? (from Sisu race)....even though they "felt" slower......
......I have been skiing for 28 years and still don't understand the tech parts of it....probably never will...

xc classic skiing 2:06:35 [3]
ahr:145
Birkie tour with Kari, -18F at start...warmed to -12F?, brisk! and a bit frosty....the intersections and courses were not marked very well and we ended taking a wrong turn and cut off a few k's inadvertently....they need to do more with this event, of course the weather did not help them but the whole thing felt anticlimactic....if they keep doing the same thing it my be best to just go ski the trail and save the $50 each we paid....good prep for our European events coming up....likely the weather will be a bit warmer there.....
