personal and public blog

This blog is for me to track and record my progress, as well as act as a tool for someone else who may be on a similar path. I am just entering week 20, and have learned that everyone's schedule is different, but that more information is always better. Miranda Roth reported to me she was playing 3 1/2 months post-op (which is absurd, she is like wolverine), and while I would love for that to be true for me and everyone else with an ACL tear, it really isn't.

Today:
mile + 1/2 warmup at 6:40 pace
dynamic stretching [monster walk, deep lunges for opening hips, planes]
dynamic box and depth jumps with turns, holding final landing
weird plank shoulder exercise
inchworm
single leg bounds, holding the landing
50 2-legged jump ropes, 25 one-legged each leg -- 5 times total
6 normal pullups, 6 dips, 6 wide pullups, 6 dips, 6 y-plane pullups, 6 dips, no rest

cold is preventing good outdoor running, need to do some 100s and 50s on a track at a build-up/sprint pace, also hills and stairs. stupid ice and snow.

last 4 weeks spend building base, went from 7:20 pace for ~3.5 miles down to 6:40 pace. All on treadmill though, so slower in reality. Fastest time for mile so far is 5:58, although this was not fastest possible, simply a warm-up time. Endurance feels good, explosiveness feels weak.

Tomorrow more cutting drills indoors, testing/gauging knee.
