After two weeks of strict rest and taking care of my knee I'm back on my feet. It's a well known fact that I don't like getting up early if I can avoid it, and I was so anxious to get back to some activity again that I've gotten up early the last two mornings in a row to go jogging! I'd like to hang on to this new-found motivation as long as possible, since these spurts tend to be very short-lived. The first morning I went out with the dog - calm, sunny, and a whole 28 degrees F with snow on the ground (which is a bit odd for Alabama!). The following morning found me comfortably indoors on the treadmill downstairs ;-)
Still some minor pain in my knee if I twist/turn it at odd angles (no pain when running though; very good thing!) - I'm hoping a new stretching/yoga routine will strengthen that up and take care of it.
I had an 'Idiot Operator' moment this morning. First time out with the new Nike+iPod sensor I got for Christmas. I strapped the sensor bean on, setup all the settings in the iPod, and then hit the treadmill. About half a mile later, it hadn't made any noises or flashy notifications to let me know it was tracking, so I stopped and played with it some more, and realized that I hadn't actually turned the Nike app ON. *face-palm*
It's taking me forever to get used to using the app. I actually got the shoes for it first and the phone and bean came along much later. The only thing I haven't figured out(or it might not be able to do) is run the app without running music as well, so that I can use other apps with sound.
