If the blogger can't run?

It's been four weeks since I've posted.  This nagging knee injury is driving me completely nuts.  It just won't go away, and the half-marathon for which I (perhaps foolishly) already paid the entry fee is creeping up on me.  I just hope I'm fixed up by November.

What am I doing instead?  Well, as I mentioned earlier, I've picked up (hey! a pun!) weight lifting.  I really enjoy it.  I get to feel all butch.  Plus, I still have the advantage of being a beginner.  I'm making steady progress.  It doesn't sound terribly impressive, I know, but I'm up to a 70lb. bench press.  

I'm in a swim conditioning class.  I'm a little concerned that I may be irritating my knee with it, but I've altered the way I push off and I'm hoping that will take care of it.

I'm not running, but I'm trying to keep at least some level of fitness.  That counts for something, doesn't it?
