Yeah the mood swings can border on self destruction at times. Weights will be an issue for my knees without doubt at the moment; if i can just get going again i think i know everything there is to know about what has happened and what to do to reduce the risk of recurrence. My long term plan is to try and be a competetive V40, there isn't a sensible plan in the mix to be going good to very good any sooner.
You're right about re-evaluation of your goals, it's absolutely key to accept that you've got the hand you've got and move forward as your cards dictate.
I don't do any weights work that requires use of the legs....just two dumbbells and a different muscle set each day.... running and cycling is for the legs
Trying to plod up hills every day slightly faster than the day before
