Speed bump

Well, last Saturday I broke a personal best and covered a distance of about 3.8 miles in 60 minutes. My knee bothered me pretty consistently, but no worse than it's ever been the last 4 weeks. I took it easy on my 2 off days hoping to repeat the performance today. Well, that didn't happen. I did a light stretch and a 1/2 mile on the elliptical as a warm up to get the blood flowing. I then did a more complete stretch thanks to some info that L to the P sent me. I hopped onto the treadmill and 2 miles later (35 min) I was in agony. I couldn't walk another step at any speed worth a damn so I stopped. I thought the problem was the impact of running, but the pain was greatest while lifting my leg not extending it. I jumped on the bike and clicked off 6 miles in 25 min. Zero pain. I worked out on the leg press machine. Zero pain. Walking around the gym? Very uncomfortable.

Looks like I'm going to be biking most of the time this week  :(  GRRRRRR!!!!!

























I will continue going to the gym. My progress will slow down, but it will not stop.
