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.

Finished up 3 consecutive days of 8 hours of meetings in a row.  Tired of sitting in a windowless conference room.

Came home from work this afternoon and walked the dog for 2 miles. Then I went and worked at the temple. I got home about 9 and ran 3 miles, working on better form and pushing my pace slightly.

Now to try and wind down and hope it doesn't take hours to fall asleep.
