I'm taking a count of people that REALLY like having to climb stairs after a heavy leg workout. A show of hands please? Yeah...that's what I thought. Today was:
Leg Press
Calf Raises
Hamstring Curls
Leg Extensions
Hip Adductor
I'm tired!

more swimming....
I'm using a program that would get me to the swimmer's mile, which is 1650 yds. This is done assuming that I would not be able to run, but since that isn't the case, I don't imagine myself getting there in six weeks.
Today was:
1x200
4x100
4x50
4x25
For a total of 900 yards...
Tonight is a leg workout. I do upper body at home, consisting of pull ups, push-ups and ab work. I'd like to see this program stick to some degree. The upper body stuff is no problem, but when I start putting distance on, I'd still like to lift.

Much better...
I swam last night and did a leg workout today. The workout only took about 25 minutes, but we're not talking about anything complicated here.
The one muscle group in my legs I failed to work today was my calves. Other than that it was simply leg press, extensions and curls.
According to the physical therapist, I should stay away from running for about 2 weeks. At this point I think I will take her advice.

Still swimming for another week or two and going to incorporate lifting to get some strength into my legs...

4x100
4x50
4x25

YES!!!!
No meniscal tear, so no surgery.
Turns out it was a bone contusion caused by poor tracking of my patella. Time for PT.
The physical therapist's name is Usha. Wish me luck on that one.

Silly....
Today I get to find out the prognosis on the knee. Good vibes...I'm looking for good vibes.
I ACTUALLY swam 700 yds on Wednesday night. Not like Monday where I only put in 525 yds. I need to check the math on that program I downloaded. I was exhausted after that.
Swimmers? Y'all ROCK!!!
I'll be swimming later tonight.
See y'all out there!

HOLY SWEET JESUS!!!!
I'm exhausted!!!
700 yards of swimming...not including warm-up or cool down. I need my Mommy. I'm tired. The knee felt pretty good yesterday and then today - errant clicking and what-not...joy and rapture.
Scheduling the MRI today. Wish me luck.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!
