Wednesday, Week 3

Hooray! I don't have any bad repercussions with my knee from the running from last night. It's strange, though, that stairs are still a bit odd, but the running was fine. There was a little strain in my knee during the running, but there was even more strain in my right ankle, so I figured it must just be par for the course of getting back into it. But, today everything is good!

This is going to be my first leg strength training day, so it will be pretty cool. I'm going to try to keep the weight light and do lots of reps. In the past, my quad muscles grew pretty easily, so I want to make sure that they don't get too big. Hopefully, the light leg strength training will help with the running as well.
