Have you ever noticed that you often take one step forward and end up going two steps backward? Life seems to do this all the time. I know I am not the only person who has felt this way.
Today I started on the stationary bike for 35 minutes, (hill climb, level 10) I then got on the stair machine and climbed to the 40th floor in 9:52! Pulse 94, respiration 38, at the top. After a 5 minute cool down my pulse was 62 and respiration 16. I felt very good and in control the entire climb. The key will be how my left knee feels in a day or so.
The last time I did this workout my left knee was killing me for a week. The truth is I nearly amputated it with a box cutter it hurt so much. This knee was operated on for a torn meniscus in 2002 and reminds me every chance it gets that I am getting too old for some of the adventures I take on. Lets hope I don't have a repeat of the last workout or I will be taking two steps backward again.
See you at the Top!
John
