gym + jogging = AWESOME!

As promised, an update on my jogging experience.  I joined a new gym on Saturday (I love it there…must go tomorrow…US open tonight :) ).  I warmed up the knee on the elliptical because I didn’t see the upright bike until after I started.  After warming up and stretching a bit, I hopped on the treadmill and did a 12 minute interval.  2 minutes jogging @ 5.7 mph and 1 minute walking @ 3.7mph.  This pace was good to start, even though it’s soo slow compared to my 7+ mph  pre-injury(-ies).  Jogging actually felt really good — good core workout and my knee felt about 95%.  It was getting a bit tired towards the end, but I was determined to finish the 12 minutes.  I will be doing this workout 2 times a week until I reach the 5 month mark.  At that time I will increase the interval to 3-4 minutes of jogging (hopefully at a faster pace) and 1 minute of walking.

More to come…
