Starting Over

Today was my first real workout in 2.5 weeks.  1 mile walking warmup. 3 miles on the treadmill running. .25 walking cooldown.

45 minutes upper body workout.

Stretching and icing.

One of the trainers at the gym did a few tests on me and doesn't think I tore the meniscus, so hopefully the rest is helping the leg to heal.  Felt rusty on the treadmill, but nothing really painful.

I'm doing good today - thanks everyone. I can still feel the knee, but not a serious pain - if that makes sense.

I think my 'running' plans will be to do 3 miles a day all of September, 4 in October, etc. It might be that some of my running injuries this past year stemmed from my switching from many years of alternating running and walking to focusing on running without walking breaks and my joints need longer to adjust.
