Working out...

Workouts have become a bit random as I have been having some problems with my knee. Of all things I should know what to do with it and I know I really shouldn't run when my knee hurts. I have read up on some things and have decided to do some quad strengthening and some specific stretching, I have found this has helped a little on my runs. I can now go 40 mins withour pain presenting but to make it 60 is not very fun so I haven't pushed myself.

However I did promise myself I wouldn't put on weight this trip which I think I am still doing ok (the yummy desserst aren't helping though) but I have definatly noticed a decrease in my aerobic fitness.
Going to have to get into the training mode when I get back thats for sure (too bad there will probably be snow on the ground so I won't be able to go on some nice rides, oh how I miss you roadie B.

Although runs have had to be altered a bit I have found a great route and I sort of have a routine now. I run for 25 mins and then do some intervals or a strength circuit at the football field or track and then another 20 minutes running. The break from running in between is really nice for my knee and I get a chance to do my 30 pushs up a day, no no not 30 in a row (well not yet that is!!) and some core work.

Also I really can't complain when I go for runs when its 20 some degrees and only 11am, so far October's weather has been great, but you can tell fall has arrived as the evenings get quite cool and the leaves have started falling. Oh I love the colours of fall!
