Wow it is hard to believe it has been almost a month since I last posted here. I went through a slump where I wasn't working out as consist as I was in June. Things slowed down a bit and I just wasn't working forward in my training.
With that said, I continue to move forward with everyday improvements. It is exciting to watch and live through it. God is working a miracle through me to enable to me to train everyday since my total knee replacement. Who would have through that I would be running 4-months after surgery and now that I am almost at 5 months I am running at a 10:00 pace for 3 x 3 minutes with 1 minute walk recovery. I know I could go further, run longer, run faster but there is no need to push myself this early in the recovery process.
Today on the bike I completed the Sufferfest Full Frontal test and have had great improvement. I am no where near where I was in January much less a year ago. But I feel grateful that I am able to ride at all. I had improvements in all four quadrants of the test with the great improvements at the power end of the spectrum. Only because during the first test I wasn't really able to push myself during the 5 seconds, 1 minute and 5 minute tests. I will take another test in 6-8 weeks to see the improvement.
