June 26 - July 10, 2007 Physical Therapy

I was on vacation last week, so training was not exactly "as usual"! I went with my two best friends to the Smoky Mountains. We had a great time! I got one really good swim workout in, and I figured between the walking and hiking, I'm not too far off track.

I went to the physical therapist yesterday, and had some good news. The problem isn't actually in my knees! My knees are what takes the brunt of other muscles not being strong enough. So, he gave me several exercises to do twice a day. I'm so excited to know that I will probably be able to jog for the triathlon.

I've decided that a new bike is in order. My mountain bike is great if I'm just joy-riding, but not so much when speed and conserving energy is a big deal! The big tires on my bike are not very efficient. So tomorrow I go to get measured. I'm going to get what fits me physically, and what fits my budget!
