First game of 5 a side football

It's been a little over 6 months now, and I am thinking of easing myself back into playing 5 a side..slowly and cautiously.Played an hour today, just passing the ball and jogging around.No sprinting,shooting ,tackling or dribbling.As funny as if sounds, I am just happy to be back on the field again and plan to be this cautious for atleast another month or 2.

10k run - check

Just completed my 10k run yesterday.Though I took a rather woeful 1hour 5 mins, the intention was to merely complete the 10k at the 6 month mark and nothing else.Yes the knee is rather sore today, but nothing out of the ordinary.Football is the next thing on my mind:).

5 months post op-training for a 10k

Fast forward to 5 months and there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel.I have started training for a 10k run next month, which will be around the 6 month mark.I do think it is a bit ambitious as I was never that much of a runner.Anyways, I am starting with about 3km at a stretch on the treadmill and eventually progress till 10.

2 months post op

I had been taking it relatively easy in PT since my last post,where I thought I had done some damage to my ailing knee, and the pain and other symptoms seem to have settled down.Walking is completely normal now and the pace seems to be gathering, and he optimist in me keeps telling me that I will return to light football in four more months.The strengthening exercises are in full flow,starting with 2 KG straps and progressively adding a kilo every week.Quad muscles have started looking like quads, but there is still a long way to go.
