Quick walks on both days. Sunday was 4.2 Km and Monday was half that. Pumped the arms too.
The idea was so see what pace affected the knees. On both days there was some discomfort
which results from jarring motions, foot plant and it was related directly to pace.
This good news; as the stride smooths out from kilometers walked the pain will reduce or the opportunity
for discomfort will go away! That is my theory, in the mean time I will have to monitor when in my runs I begin to feel the type of discomfort which can linger for days post work-out.
Training partner was more into smells than walking quickly. (the 4 legged training partner)
Garmin acted up by dropping the heart every once in awhile which made me want to either adjust the chest strap or have someone pinch to make sure I was still alive. There are very few people out and about at 5:30 am.
Weather was great both days, in other words, no rain and some actual clear sky!
Must refuel for another busy day job day.

0205 and 0213 Far and few between
02/05 - Good work out. Ran and walked 4.2km - 8:00AM
100 m walk and 100m run for the first 10 min. ( X5)
1 minute run and 2 minute walk with a 3minute break twice (x7)
in other words 1 run - 2W R - 1 run - 2 W R - 1R - 3 W R and repeat with 1 extra 1 m Run
at the end followed by a 5 minute cool down.
No trg partner, left the four legged friend at home.
02/13 - Good work out. Ran and walked 4.2km - 5:30AM
600 m walk first 7 1/2min.
1 minute run 2 minute walk ( X 9)
1 run - 2WR - 1 run - 2WR - 1run -2WR -1 run - 2WR then to
continue 1 run- 2WR - 1 run- 2WR-1 run- 2WR- 1run-2WR-1run
then a cool down walk.
With the beast!
I compared the two graphs and the work outs were different for 1 reason - the
dog. Without the dog I was able to push harder and therefore had to throw in a 3min WR
and the actual patterns were almost equal, I am unable to copy them into my blog, I am trying to do
that too!
Pace in the on with out the dog was 8:52km - not exactly world-breaking but with the dog took
me down to a 10:00km but remember the ratio is 1 min run to two minutes walk rest.
Did bouncing this morning on the rebounder and have taken the dog for a few longer walks.
My knees took a pounding after the above runs, recovery took a full 72 hours.
So my plan is run - (run walk 3X per week) do a mix of walking, Wii, rebounding, pilates
machine and body weight exercise.
Now I must still try to locate a bike and a kayak, that I can afford. But I will
keep running and training on faith that they will be there when I am ready to use them and
I have saved some funds for them................when I need them.

Friday Morning
There was no sun, when I walked this morning.
Garmin on my wrist, monitor on my chest,
have not gone for awhile, going to give my best.
Air was fresh, my mind was clear, I even
had my training partner near, she was four legged,
super cape on, so we walked and ran, no not...
with speed.
We walked and ran out of fit-full need,
we measured everything except my heart rate,
the battery in the monitor needs replacing,
the watch recorded distance and pacing.
From beginning to end, there was no heart rate,
but there was still a beat that pushed when it could,
the 4.2K distance and route mapped as it would, so...
I will buy a battery, monitor chest strap will work
again,
I will push forward through the pain.
Cuz the beat goes on!
