We flew back Monday and I didn't actually get home till 10pm. Ugh.... a whole day lost just in travel-time. It is Saturday night - and my suitcase STILL isn't completely unpacked. I have no excuse either. While I was gone my gracious mother cleaned my house, did laundry, bought a lot of the essential staples for a house that I was out of, and basically took care of pretty much everything (mainly Hattie).... even down to a fresh fruit basket on my kitchen bar! I feel like I left one resort and came home to another!
My knee is getting better everyday. While I was in Tahoe I was convinced it was really blown out. Every step was excruciating. So Monday was rest, Tuesday rest, Wednesday rest and Thursday morning I got up at 6am and rode my trainer for an hour before work. Then Thursday night I might K at the rec and he swam 1000 meters while I, for the first time since Saturday, ran 3 miles on the treadmill. Friday was rest. This afternoon I got brave and ran another 6 miles on the treadmill. It's just too cold for my liking right now - the high temp is like.... 32 degrees. I am hoping that by Monday I'll be back to my regular planned training schedule. I have a 12 mile run on there for next weekend. Let's hope my knee continues to heal and I meet my goal!!!! I actually did have a doctor's appointment yesterday, which I cancelled. I really believe it is going to take rest and Aleve. Plus I had major issues to tend to at work and didn't feel like I should miss.
Last night Jamie came down from the boro and we had dinner at Boskey's and then headed to Tullahoma. We had a pretty good redneckin time! K, G and I went back to Boskey's for dinner tonight!!! Yummm!!! We watched "Wedding DAZE." I do NOT recommend that movie. It is one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen.
I think my schedule for this week goes sumthin like this... 6, 4, 1 hour trainer video, 12. I'll cross my fingers my right knee stays "soldier" strong and I'm back on the plan without too terribly much lost!

Hope your knee continues to get stronger...but don't push it...remember it is better to take a few days off now so you can run in April.
sorry about the knee - hey, your Mom, she rocks!!
