I got to the pool at 6am this morning to get my swim done.  I did 1 x 1000 and 3 x100.  During the long set I ended up doing my one-sided breathing.  It is just tough to get out of my comfort zone when going long.  After the long set I worked on bilateral breathing for 3 sets of 100.

During lunch I worked on chest with bench presses and flyes.  I then took off for a 5k run.  During my run I realized that I am supposed to be on a recovery week from strength training… doh!  Around 2 miles into the run, my left knee popped off track.  If you are new to my blog, I have a problem with my left knee… chondromalacia to be exact.  I was running at a slow zone 2 and I was prepared for it.  When it locked up I ended up hopping on my right leg until I could come to a “graceful” stop.  It sure beats falling down.  I have a way of moving my lower leg until it pops back in place.  Its kind of cool because it makes a popping sound like cracking a knuckle.  After I got it re-aligned I walked it out a bit and resumed running.  This is just a problem that I have to deal with when I run.  As my sports medicine doctor told me… just run on it as long as I can stand it.

Ok, I gotta turn in now. I feel like I am coming down with a cold so I hope a good nights sleep will take care of it. I will leave you folks with this short video where a doctor uses a technique to determine if someone has chondromalacia.
