One week's Layoff

Coming out of last week's enforced layout confirms two things:

One is that the consistency in the mornings is an excellent way of ticking the body over on a low intensity hum.. The core abdominals crunches, butt exercises and upper body pushups help keep the muscles toned. 

The second is that the pain the knee gradually lessened. Which goes to confirm that 10km is way too much for these (coming into middle age) knees to handle. So no more heroic stuff for me! Don't want to have, as the significant other say, have a bod but no legs to carry it around. 

Got about an hour in the gym yesterday though, and gingerly started on the elliptical trainers. Not too bad... no immediate pain, and better yet, no after-exercise pain too! So much begin to seriously think about how I am to get my weekly dose of workouts in with the little time I have between knocking off and coming home. 

Oh well that is another question for another day.
