Well, after a week and a half of pretty severe back pain following a 65 year old woman beating the crap out of about seven of us when she had an unpleasant reaction to an anesthetic; I started working out again. I resumed the 1/2 hour session on the stationary bike and then got on the treadmill again. Now, before I hear the ranting about how I injured my knee on that thing, I'll just say I need the treadmill to get me back to running. I loathe the stationary bike...it's boring. I'll keep doing it because I want the cardio, but I hate it. I want to get back to trail running again. I was really enjoying it a while back. Plus...I spent some decent money on trail shoes back then, and I don't want them to go to waste. Any way, It was good to at least get a first jog in. It was brief along with a fast walking pace for 20 minutes after the bike. I have this fear of not keeping up with the back pack group in May...it keeps me motivated to push harder.Well, now we'll see if I can keep up a routine. The new issue of Backpacker has a good exercise routine for strengthening the legs for climbs and descents. It should prove helpful for my knee as well. Only another few weeks until the back pack in Pa. Woohoo!
