Workout # 3.

Thumbs of death gave me clearance for some easy running on level trails and roads only. No FAC champs for me.

K/O's prescribed quad and hamstring exercises.

Finally feeling stronger on the bike. Had to hitch a ride home as I had 2 dogs in the afternoon. Knee's still sore to walk around. Today's the day for doc Thumbs of Death to give me the yay or nay for running.

C • keep your quad strength up 2

Workout #2 + some kneehab. Starting to heave a bit more weight these days.
Still can't lift anything on hamstring curls on the bad leg, but some gentle ball-wall squats were OK.

Also some lumberjack games on the way to work- finished sawing the mega-log on the trail by hand and got the trail opened up. Man, the pioneers must have been strong!

Hiked to work with a trekking pole and T-dog. All went well until I bumped a stick with my bad leg and rotated the foot out a bit- Ouch!! Definitely not ready for off-trail running. Hiking with poles is OK.

Another easy commute.

The knee's a bit sore again today, and the limp is back. Maybe I'll hike to work with poles next time.

Ride home- knee felt better.
Stopped to take a hack at a 30cm diam tree that's blocking a critical downhill with my hand saw. Need to come back with a bow saw to finish it.

Another easy commute with The Bulletdog- seems gentle biking is still OK.

Hike around Kolapore with trekkiing poles while supporting Bash.

Normally I wouldn't log an easy hike, but it's the first decent stroll since my injury. Not too bad with poles on uneven ground. The knee was pretty stiff while sitting around, but after the hiking I was almost walking normally. Doubt I can run for a while though, and the FAC champs is looking dubious.
