    Happy Sunday and Happy Labor Day tomorrow. We're having family and friends over for a pool party tomorrow so I think I'm going to have to take rest day. Got my run in this morning though.

    Cardio: 4 mile run on the track at the park. My left knee has been bothering me a little and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. I wore a sleeve today while I ran and it was okay but then hurt afterwards and still hurts a little. What's been happening is it hurts for one day and then the next feels fine. Ugggghhhh. I do not want another injury. Playing it by ear right not and trying to be smart but I don't want to stop running.

    Eating pretty well today but tomorrow all bets are off!

    Could just be nagging pain. Little tendinitis or arthritis. If it's not a persistent pain, then there's not too much to worry about.

    Thanks Niner. I'll keep an eye on it for now. I don't want it to get worse but I don't think it's anything too serious. I know I didn't actually injure it. It may just be that I need to stretch out better before and after a run. My daughter suggested stretching my quads really well several times a day. She's got bad knees and it seems to help her to do that. I've never really had any trouble with my knees before.

    @MJFSH good luck to your sons at college. Such an exciting time for a family. All three of our kids went to college, graduated and all three went on for more education. It really pays dividends for their future.

    Cardio: Took the day off running even though I really wanted to run around the basketball court after strength training. My knee felt great this morning and so I'm beginning to wonder if it might be the shoes. I'm going to run the horse trail tomorrow with my other running shoes on and see if that helps and then maybe just go ahead and invest in even another pair.....sheesh.

    Strength: Spent about 30 min warming up with lots of stretching, calisthenics and shoulder rehab followed by:

    5X5 squats @ 115

    Arnold's Supersets
    #1; 4x10 standing dumbbell curls w/15 & 4X10 prone dumbbell extensions w/15/15
    #2: 4X10 incline dumbbell curls w/15/15 & 4X10 of overhead extensions w/30 & 4X10 tricep pushdowns w/40
    #3 of 4X10preacher curls w/25lbs & 4X10 of seated dips w/60

    3X10 calf raises w/70 and 3X10 leg extensions w/40

    Assessment: Ate too many leftovers yesterday so back to normal today. I've been losing weight again so I'm not too worried about it though.

    @luluinca Thank you!!!! :) it was an exciting yet exhausting day! mom's taxi service did not stop until 9:15 pm! I'm beat! but they both had good first days so that's what really matters.
    And yes do pay attention to the shoes, maybe that's where the problem is!

    strength: P90X:Back and Biceps done and then all the running around! funny enough the running around doesn't even count as cardio! lol
    tomorrow will be even busier. gotta get some sleep before morning get here already

    Forgot to log in my workout yesterday so here that is.

    Cardio: 1.3 mile run post weights

    Strength: 25 min calisthenics warmup followed by this:

    1X5 dead lifts w/115 lbs, 1X5 dead lifts w/135 & 1X5 dead lifts w/145 lbs
    leg press 12@310 lbs, 2X10@ 400 lbs and 2X8@ 450 lbs - dropped a bit of weight because of knee

    Supersets:
    #1: 3X10 bent over rows w/75 lbs & 3X10 bench press w65 lbs
    #2: 3X10 incline bench press w/20/20 & 3X10 wide grip lat pulldowns w/70

    #4: 3X10 assisted dips & 3X10 assisted chinups (close grip)

    Today: I ran 4.16 miles on the track at the park. I changed out my running shoes last week, added a different pre-run stretch and an open patella knee sleeve and my knee felt much better today. So much more fun to run when something doesn't hurt. Hope I can keep it that way!

    Assessment: I've been eating better lately and have been able to just maintain for now which is what I've been hoping for.

    Hope you're all having a great weekend!

    Today

    Cardio: 3.52 mile run slow and easy except for the two hills I ran

    Assessment: Eating okay the last couple of days and getting more protein in.
