Still here... waiting

My knee started acting up again after my last workout, so I took another week off. I really need to do something, though. Not working out is driving me crazy. It helps keep me sane with the lack of sunlight this time of year.

I'm thinking next time I go, I might try using the elliptical rather than the treadmill. Maybe the treadmill is aggravating my knee? We had a couple days of warm weather this past week. I wish my knee had felt ok so I could have run outside. Now it's freezing again. After the melt-off, the sidewalks and streets are surely dangerous again with hidden patches of ice.

Right now, I'm fighting off a cold. It's not bad enough that it would keep me from working out, though.

Hi - thanks for visiting my blog! I was looking at ellipticals today - to use on my crosstraining days...I used to use one at the gym, and really liked how low impact they are. I don't have a membership anymore (and it takes me 30 min + to drive to the nearest gym), so I'm thinking about adding one to my home (basement) gym.
Anyhow - thanks again for visiting, and I look forward to reading more about your journey!

It's actually on the inside of my knee, so it's not the IT band. I actually don't know what it is specifically. Thanks, though.
