I felt brave this morning - brave enough to perform one of the toughest workouts for me. When I feel strong and confident, I tend to sprint up the stairs with the windows shut, directy followed by a tempo run. 6 miles of each with a 20 lap swim and I am good to go.

I decided to do it this morning - made me very very nervous. Started off nice and slow before picking it up after 10 or so minutes. I shut all the windows while climbing up and lmost immediately got my heart rate up.

420 repeats on the staircase 83 minutes
6.8 mile run 60 minutes.

I wanted to swim but nixed the pool because the thought of having wet hair all morning was just too much!

The issue with my left leg isnt my knee - I think I have a torn hamstring so I have been religiously icing it (with a bag of frozen peas mostly) - will be seeing a doctor on the 13th!
