Stepping back

Finally got some excercise yesterday... went for a decent 40 minute swim which felt great after a weekend of lassitude! I've been fighting a losing battle with knee pain for a while, so I've decided to play it smart this week: agonizing as the prospect may seem, I'm not going to run - instead I'll cross-train, stretch, and start up a weight-training program for my legs to fend off future injury. By doing this I hope to be back on track (ha, ha - sorry I have a pun problem) within the next few days.
