My run on Tuesday went really well. There were a lot of hills, but I conquered them. There were fewer bugs. I felt more relaxed during my runs. It just overall was a fine day. Nothing noteworthy, nothing bad.
I chose to do another 5K with my Nike Plus, so there was a little more than 5 minutes of walking at the end. Yesterday's program was:
Brisk 5 minute warm up walk
Jog 10 minutes
Walk 3 minutes
Jog 10 minutes
5 minute cool down walk
I am giving myself a total day off from any kind of working out on Wednesday (other than walking the dog) so my next run (and final run for Week 6) will be on Friday. It's 25 minutes. I understand that physically I can do it, but mentally, I am a little worried. That seems like a loooong time to me.
I did end up getting the shot that helps lubricate my knee joint. It was much less painful than the cortisone shot I had in the past. I haven't noticed a difference yet, but it supposedly can take up to 5 sessions for the shot to work, and then it lasts for up to 6 months to a year. The doctor doesn't want to treat my left knee (which is actually the more painful one currently) until we've fully treated the right, which I guess makes sense. I feel very lucky overall; my knees have behaved thus far, knock wood. They hurt MUCH worse when I was still doing lunges. I'm glad I quit those, LOL!
