60 Min Walk

Went back to the doctor again today.  They first wanted me to do an MRI, but I discussed it further with the doc and we both agreed that it likely wouldn't give us any further information.  I passed all the mobility tests and we agree it is unlikely that I have torn meniscus. We agree that it is merely runners knee (aka IT Band Tendonitis).  So, I have tried the run through it technique and wasted 9 weeks.  Time to try something else.  Last time I went to the doctor, I got a steriod and anti-inflammatory shot and the next week was blissful running until the shot wore off and I was back to square one.  This time I will get the shot and then the key step will be no running period for a month (at first) maybe more after a few mile test at that point.  So what will I do in the mean time?  Mtn Biking and Road Biking.  I just can't stand sitting around twiddling my thumbs so that is the plan.  Since it is only running that hurts the knee, biking is still allowed.  So biking I will do to keep the horses calmed down. 

So, canceled my entry into Pocatello and Logan Peak.  Truly a sad moment.  Well, so things around here will be even more boring then they have been for the last 9 weeks.  It will be a log of my biking, walking and basically non-running experiences.  So come back in 4-8 weeks and I will be back.

Knee sore from shot on wed.  Pretty good bruise. Let it rest today.

Mountain Bike Ride -

House to Providence canyon and along Deer Fence to Dry and up dry until the snow line.  1 hour to that point (8.5 miles and 1500' vert).   Back to Providence canyon and then up the canyon 1.75 miles (42 min) then home (19 min).  I went as high up Providence as I did up Dry and the road was clear.  I bet it is clear up the Quarry.  I will investigate further next week. 

The highlight was riding across the flooding Blacksmithfork river after it joins Logan river as it crosses 6th west.  The sand bag bank they built had burst and the water was a foot deep running across the road.  My feet were submerged as I peddled.  It is crazy.  No flooding issues at my house though. 

T- 2:00:45 (10.5mph) 21 miles 2600' Vert

*Weekly summary - Starting the clock over at Week 1 of no running.  36 miles of biking, 3250' Vert, 2 hours of walking, 300 mins total.  Next week will be daily mountain bike rides with some bike commute thrown in. 

Bike ride with my son on Planet Walk netted us some pictures of the water situation here.  This first pic is what happens when the Blacksmith Fork River Floods the "Planet Walk".

The raging water under the bridge is usually dry except for during the peak of the runoff.  It is far from peaking and its a good 2 feet deep there.

* Shot is with river running at 900 cubic feet per min (88% of flood stage)
