I am trying to get back into my training. Taking off most of the week has driven me crazy. I have done my knee exercises and iced it nearly every day. The swelling has gone down but it still seems a little swollen or something behind the knee. I don’t know if it has been this way for a while or if something is not exactly right. I did a little running on the treadmill yesterday and today I swam ten laps and ran 3.5 miles on the treadmill. So far, it’s not any worse than usual. No pain. So I am thinking I will be able to get back into the training next week (just as the cold weather has set in!) I don’t know if I will be doing another half marathon any time too soon, but am looking at a sprint (short course) triathlon at the end of May. I do like having a goal for my training. It makes it more worthwhile, easier to stick with, more meaning to it and less mundane. I guess that can be said for pretty much anything in life.
