Week 14

11/11/12 - Pretty quiet day.  Jess and I simply could not find anything else to do and ended up at our 2nd movie of the weekend, Pitch Perfect.  I'll admit it wasn't as face punchingly terrible as I had anticipated.  Ran 3.0

11/12/12 - Surprise snow and freeze leaves ALL roads frozen with a layer of snow on top = the most dangerous possible conditions.  Well aware of this I went as slow as possible biking in, and still wiped out 3 times.  The last time my leg bent so badly that I lost my breath and could barely move for a full minute.  My knee got worse as the day went on so I left work early so I could get home and ice it and keep it up.  I walked a mile at 3.7mph as this was literally as fast as I could go.  Jess wasn't thrilled with me doing this, but I did get my mile in.

11/13/12 - Worked from home today to stay off my leg as much as possible.  Iced it most of the day.  I can walk, but it feels almost numb and doesn't bend far without pain.  Ran a 10 min mile.  Took FOREVER!

11/14/12 - Knee is getting slowly better, but still need to take it easy.  Did some lifting, sitting down for exercises I typically stand during.  Ran a 9:30 min mile

11/15/12 - How could I have forgotten about swimming?  Fool!  Anyways, ran an 8:34 min mile and then was able to swim 1000 m in a go, not too bad considering I haven't swam regularly in about 6 months. 
Only downside - I've lost about 10 lbs since then from all the running and my trunks were a little looser than I would have liked.  There was no teasing at all from my lovely wife about 'showing off the goods' for the 'boys at the gym'.  None at all!

11/16/12 - Knee's getting there, but not great yet.  Ran 1.0 at normal speed of 7:30 min but don't want to push it.  Also lifted.  Went to the New Hope Cinema Grill with Amee & Clint to see the Disgruntled Clown. Hilarious and lots of fun!  Definitely the place to go for a movie and food/drinks.  Cheap, nice layout, and unlike Showplace Icon, you get an actual table around you while watching the show.

11/17/12 - Took the car in to have the brakes checked.  They're both still at 60%, BOOSH!  Ran 4.25m around Cedar lake.  Knee felt good for the majority of the trip.  A little sore afterwards, I'll probably take it slow tomorrow to be safe.  Jess & I had dinner at Ciao Bella (goat cheese & chicken lasagna was awesome!) and Jess had something we'd never heard of, non-alcoholic wine!  (hint: it's pretty much grape juice)
