I was able to run for 20 mins today!!! :awais:

I've never been able to run that long since "the accident." Even when I was in therapy I could only run about 4 minutes before the pain came in, but I've since stopped therapy and just trained my legs twice a week. I'm still in the process of just rebuilding lost muscle and not really aiming for swollness, but this is really a huge improvement. At around the 15-minute mark I felt some slight pain behind my knee and I was like "F*ck you, you're not the boss of me!" And eventually the pain went away. If it weren't for the 20-minute limit at the gym I could've ran more!

HOLLA

 

i just walked around the block and my legs are killing me :happysad: gotta start somewhere, right? h:

oh yea-- good job

 

damn it my elbow hurts like a bia when I lift heavy so I've been taking it easy. before that my shoulder was killing me, but went away and now it's the elbow h:

 

Hey Dom, if you want to build up strength in your knee, try biking and/or swimming. Running puts a lot of stress on the knees...lots of runners have knee problems.

 

I run 3-4 miles 5-6 days a week. Be prepared for shin splints if you start too fast.

 

I can swim with teh best of them.

It's just that the pool near me is always full of kids :ugh:

And the pool at the gym has too much chlorine :eek3:

edit: I'm thinking about biking though.

 

howbout eliptical

 

I used to do the Elliptical, but it kinda got boring with the limited movement.

 

yeah thats low impact too.

 

I'm so weak my bicep hurts if the jug of Sunny D is full when I pull it out of the fridge.
