Just a quick update--my knee was mind-blowingly painful after Monday's run, so on Tuesday I made an appointment with a new trainer who told me not to run until I see her (she's in Michigan, so it's a couple of weeks away, but I saw her when I was pregnant and really want to work with someone who actually trains runners/women who have had babies, as opposed to the crappy trainers at Purdue who are like, who has babies? Who runs?). Anyway.
So I took Tuesday off because I was seriously hobbling all day. It was awful. I had to have a hot compress to sleep because the ice didn't do a thing.
Wednesday I biked 7 miles, then came home and mowed the lawn.
Thursday I biked 4 miles but pulling 3 of the kids that time, over a hilly route against the wind. I was taking the kids to their friend's house and was planning to bike over to pick them up, but I was so exhausted! (Plus my backside hurt because I haven't biked in forever).
Today I biked just under 7 miles, again with 3 of the kids, to the playground for a picnic. I must say that while I know biking isn't anywhere near the workout that running is, it's sure nice to fit it in as part of my day and have it as time with the kids...
