Moving Forward

As much as I loved my run with Sue Sat. it didn't love my knee, and I paid the price for it Sunday. I was hobbling about quite a bit. Today was better but I didn't want to chance anything so I decided to bike at the gym. It was a perfect day for running and having to go into the gym and sweat it out on the stupid bike was not fun!! But my knee is not hurting as bad so I think I need to do this for a bit longer. Doctor appointment is on Weds. so hopefully I will get some answers. 

All the bike were occupied when I got there so I did about 5 minutes on the stair stepper, til one came open. I think I got about 29 floors. Then 60 minutes on the spin bike again... pretty boring, but I made a sizable sweat puddle so I must have been working a bit :) Then I did some squats with the ball against the wall, abs and lots of stretches.

Just got back from the doctor... They took x-rays on my knee and had me try and do a few things. Most of the time when he was manipulating my knee it didn't hurt. But then he had me squat on my knees and try to waddle... I couldn't this hurt too much. The other thing was to stand on my hurt leg... squat slightly and then try to wiggle. Again this was too much. X-rays showed a slight thinning of my meniscus on the inner part of my knee. But he said that it was understandable with my age and running and didn't really seem to be concerned with it. So he scheduled an MRI to get a better idea of what is going on. I go tomorrow night, then see him again on Tues. Until then he has said no running... just elliptical (Suck... Suckedy ... Suck)

On the bright side, when he was asking about my miles and running... upcoming races etc. He said, Moab in 7 weeks maybe out but the Ogden full is still looking good! Here's to hoping is all gets worked out!

For today I will not be able to make it to the gym... between work and babysitting the gradkids, along with other obligations, I won't make it there. But I will try and go for a good walk at least.

An hour on the elliptical... a bit of upper body weights, some abs, stretching and that was is. I need to get up extra early to get to the gym in the morning since I can't run. My oldest sisters birthday is today, but we are having a party for her tomorrow. This is a big one for her (60) but don't tell her I said anything LOL 

Here is a picture of the doll I made for her. It's not a great picture... I too it with my phone. The background is my messy desk in my studio, and she still needed a few details when I took this picture. I will post better ones on my blog tomorrow after her party. 

Got 45 minutes in on the elliptical before I had to get ready for my sister's birthday party. We had her party that "The grand America garden room" it's a beautiful room with fantastic food. I'm sure I eat more then I burned today.

Check out the pictures of my sisters doll on my blog. There is a link at the side.
