1st day back from taking a few days off for my knee and it was too soon. We started with the two vertical laps in the school because it was pooring, stretching, drills in the halls, wall sits, high knee line thing and then step ups. Then distance did a fartlek workout down at Liberty when it was pooring rain! I jogged down with Caden and my knee was not hurting at this point. But when we got to the drinking fountain it hurt a bit but I was going to tough it out, which was the worst thing I could have done to it. The workout was 5 sets of 2 on 1 off 1 on 1 off, five of each. I ran with Caden and we were staying consistent 75 second 400s for the ons then for the offs we slowed down a bit for Kiley to catch up to us. My knee hurt a bit but not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to. Caden and I got about 4 miles in the fartlek workout according to my watch but I didn't start it until the light at the park. When we finished we went back to the drinking fountain and when we stopped I immediately collapsed because my knee couldn't hold my weight. So we decided to walk back the opposite way, walk a few steps and then collapse- then Caden help me up then collapse again. When we got to the light at 7th east and 9th south, the team was on the opposite side of the street so I called over to Bill and he knew something was up so he offered to have me walk to 9th and 9th and he would pick us up at the coffee garden, Thanks Bill. So we stopped at the coffee garden after about a half hour of walking the half mile from me collapsing to the ground and my parents came and got us and drove us up to the school. I found out I have something called Plika or something in my knee and I can't run for about a week, and I need to ice it and apply heat everyday. Just as I was getting my speed back, this happens. GREAT!!!! |
