Masters USATF Cross Country National Championships 8k in St. Louis, MO!
Maybe a marathon in 2013?
Long-Term Running Goals:
Enjoy running and racing at whatever level I am able to. Possibly run another marathon post Microfracture Surgery in under 3:00.
Personal:
I'm in the Army. I am married with four children (20/17/13/8 years old). Trying to return to previous running form after having microfracture knee surgery in July 2008.
Easy day today. Need to get back into a better routine on tuesday and thursday but my schedule is a bit busy right now. At least I am getting in hard days on Mon, Wed and Fri. I think I will add more cardio type work on tuesday and thursday next week to supplement the Mon, Wed, Fri routine.
Knee still not stable and still having some minor pain issues with walking up stairs. Approaching 3 months and still not feeling great. Although I do have some times when I feel like jogging but just have to remind myself that I am no where near ready for that.
11 Weeks post Microfracture Surgery. Time flies. So I am at 11 weeks and things are ok. My leg is not getting strong as fast as I would hope but slow progress is better than no progress. Today was an easy day to let the leg and knee rest as it was hurting a bit more than normal.
I was not feeling 100% and I really felt like I needed some extra sleep so I slept in today and skipped the workout. It actually may have turned out to be a good thing as throughout the day my knee felt better than it has in a long time. Giving it a break couple days may have been what it needed.
