It was definitely chilly, I was in my layers, including the full running hat. I was determined to run however, so out I went. The thing is, while I wait to see the Doctor and wait to see what he says, I am not going to just lay around and mope, and let the downward spiral of eating too much and not exercising take hold. So I will run, maybe not as much or as long as I might like but I will run.
I will make a point to change up my schedule a little. On my schedule long Sunday runs I will take it slow, and mix in some strenuous hikes instead, like the Incline I did last weekend. Because doing that did not have any affect on my knees. The other thing, is I will take the time on my long runs to drive to a trail and run on dirt instead of concrete and asphalt, and make a point on my speed workouts to do the same: go to the track instead of road.
That does change my days for sit ups and push ups, but that should not be a problem. And to be honest, the first day of sit ups wiped me out so I could not do one yesterday anyway so an extra day of rest won't hurt.
Today should be a good test for the new work set up with the jerry rigged standing desk. Since my knees are pretty sore, it will be good to see if the standing and stretching help the recovery more than just sitting.
