Running because I can!

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!       

My knee started to hurt again after about.50 miles I kept running to see if it would go away but only got worse so that was that!

I worked my abs and then did a few arm weights.

Rode 4 miles on the bike and 1.10 miles on the elliptial.

My knee  felt fine with everything I did except running.  Very disapointing. 

I was able to run a little more today before the knee pain set in.   I played with the speed a little bit when the pain started and when I was running as fast as I could run it for some reason felt better.   

I did some abs and a few leg weights and then I did 15 minutes on the arc trainer set at level 6 and then I rode the bike for 15 minutes.  

I feel really good other than my knee is a bit achy.  

One of the twins said the funniest things to me on the way home today

She said I know why David died, I said Why? and she said" because he didn't have a mom and he didn't know how to cook so he starved to death" 

They are still trying to understand his death and talk about it.  David would have even laughed at that one.    

Josse scraped my leg last night and for the first 2.50 miles I thought I was home free other than my left knee felt some pain similar to the pain I have had in my right knee.  I stopped and walked for a minute and the pain went away as soon as i started to walk, so I waited a bit and tried running again I was fine for about another half and then the pain came back so I walked agian, pain went away a minute later I tried to run really slow but the pain came back right away and worse so I gave up.   The pain went away until I stepped off the tredmill and the presure hurt so bad I almost fell.   (Very discouraging) Finished in 36minutes.

I did weigh myself and that was good news! (one more pound gone)

I worked my abs, arms and stretched, Knee was sore but not bad.

I rode the bike for 30 minutes no pain then at all.   

I went to Macey's in North Orem after the gym for the food storage sale, and everyonce and awhile my knee would hurt then go away.  I am icing right now.

The food storage sale dose have some pretty good prices.          

One of my 4 year old twin girls had surgery today.  She did very good. They said she was one of the best patients they have had. Everything went smoothly as far as her surgery went.

She had a duct cyst removed that was on her hyoid bone. She had the cyst removed along with some of the bone. There is alot of swelling but it looks better than I thought it would.

Only mental workouts today!
