My husband stayed home with the kids today so I had as much time at the gym as I wanted.
I was totally let down because I felt so good and thought today would be my longest and best run. But as I was finishing the first mile my right knee (same one as before) started to really hurt again. I thought maybe I jst need to run through it. Nope the pain just got worse. At 2.75 I felt like I was going to really hurt myself if I continued so I stopped. other than my knee I felt lke I could have ran at least 4 more.
I worked my abs more than I normally do and then I did a few leg weights. not as heavy as I knew I could lift (trying to protect my knee)
when I finished with that my knee felt fine, so I thought maybe I just needed to work out a tight muscle or something. I tried running again and as soon as I started the pain came back and just got worse so I stopped at .50.
I got on the elliptical and did 2 miles and then I did 1 mile on the stair stepper. My knee felt ok on both those machines. So I decided to get on the bike and see how that felt. I ended up doing 50 minutes on that and 9 miles.
I left the gym feeling great and bumbed that I could not run like I wanted to.
As I am home now and was cooking dinner my knee started to throb a bit and when I bend my leg I can feel a pop in the muscle right under and to the right of my knee. I am icing both knees at the moment.
I am going to be ticked if this sets me back I was doing so good! |
