Rowing fun at the gym.  My PT prescribed a cortisone shot for the knee. Can't wait.

10 minutes on the stairmaster but that hurt my knee so I tried 30 minutes on the step machine that spins like a treadmill (called a Stepmill).  This was the first time I have used one for over a few minutes.  It is easier on my knee because I don't get into a running motion but it's still a good workout.  Did 4 miles in 30 minutes.

step machine, spin class, step machine, rowing and PT. My life is now in order because the instructor had us set goals for the day, year and decade.

I didn't want to swim and I didn't want to hurt my knee so I rowed for 62 minutes and completed 12,300 meters or about 7.6 miles.  Really exciting work out but it still hurt my knee. Dumb.  PT afterwards.

I swam back and forth in the swimming pool.  

Received a cortisone shot in my knee yesterday and now my knee is even worse or more sore.  I think/hope this is just a temporary flare-up caused by the shot.

short workout of rowing and stairmaster.  knee didn't like the stairmaster.

PM: first experience with acupuncture. the acupuncture Doc put needles in my left elbow to fix my right knee and recommended heat over ice.  I am already a convert.

fun day in the pool.  The cortisone shot must have sucked all lubrication from my knee because now it creaks every time I bend it.  Hopefully that goes away soon.

12,600 meters (7.8 miles) in 60 minutes on the rowing machine.  My next goal is to hit 8 miles in 60 minutes.  Watched 2 rounds of Sportcenter and learned that Tiger cheated, again.

~1.5 miles of swimming at Steiner, 30 minutes on the spin bike then PT.  The swim brought back lots of memories because I used to spend a ton of time in that pool. What's odd is that I now have a really hard time keeping track of my laps.  I counted 500 yards then forgot to keep counting whereas I used to swim 4500 yards (180 lengths) without stopping and would never lose count.  Maybe I have a more advanced condition of ADD.

I think the creaking in my knee has improved ever so slightly because spin for 30 mins was bearable.

spin and rowing.  Better than last week at least.  Still sickened and angered by the Boston trajedy.  Justice must to be served.

biking, rowing, elliptical and PT and lots of IT band stretching.  I don't think I have ever stretched one part of my body that much in my life.  I hope I didn't break anything.
