Run Life

Lots and lots of pain behind the knee. Might meet up with a family orthopedic surgeon to get a little more insight about my knee. No running again, Yikes this is really starting to suck.

Meet up with the orthopedic surgeon and got a tentative diagnosis that I have a ganglion cyst behind my knee. Very painful to even try to walk much. Looks like he will give me a cortico-steroid shot in the next day for the pain and swelling. 

I was able to lift some light weights in from the in-laws basement gym. Havent done that in over two years. So know I should be sore all over tomorrow.  

Got the shot in the leg around 9pm. Hope this helps with the healing. Tried to turn a few revolutions on the spin bike but wasnt happening. 

officially a week off! brutal but on the upside my leg is feeling a lot better from the shot. noticed the swelling went down a lot as well from the night before. was able to do some light biking with the father in-law. Rode 10 miles at noon and then did 22 miles at around 630 at night. Felt good to finally get some cardio in. Good routes and awesome scenary around nashville, hit a few hills on the ride. 

0 run miles but did a sweet ride again on eastern Tennessee side up to North Carolina and back. climb was from about 500ft to 5400ft and then back down. We climbed around basically 30 miles up around 9% grade most of the way and then flew down for the most part. Had a great time riding and it was actually pain free!!! Hopefully looking to run tomorrow morning, but no later then saturday. Hoping a week off doesnt completely take me out of my rhythm. Atleast the summer is young! lots of time for summer training. I do have another externship next week in Texas so that will take up some time as well. 

Finally Running! nice little 8 miler around the brentwood neighborhood with katie and jax. Perfect weather for running. Leg was a little stiff but not too bad. Pleased with it, tired from yesterdays ride.
