LOTOJA

175 mile bike.  I bailed 20 miles before the end because I felt like crap and I wanted to watch the BYU Utah football game.  

Go Cougs!!!!

After a week of recovery from LOTOJA, I figured I was good to go out for a run this morning. I had some mild tenderness behind my left knee that I figured was a bit of tendonitis.  I started running very slowly after some active stretching warmup.  It hurt a bit but I kept going, then right at the 1 mile mark a super sharp pain hit behind my knee.  I stopped and hobbled home, not sure exactly what happened.  Looks like I won't be running for a while though.  It's going to make it hard to pepare for Big Bear Marathon in 8 weeks.

I still can't walk quite right, so I hopped on the bike trainer for a spin for about 50 minutes.  It's funny that biking caused the initial problem, but biking didn't seem to hurt it.  It's going to be at least a full week from now before I may be able to run.  Big Bear may become a training run.

Pain behind knee slightly better.  Still just did 50 minutes on bike trainer.  I'm hoping to try out jumping rope soon.

I walked a few miles on the TM.  Pain is improving, but still a long way from running.

40 minutes on the bike trainer. I am walking almost pain free. Maybe just maybe I'll try the jump rope tomorrow.

Walked 2 miles on TM then jumped rope for 10 minutes then did yard work. Leg is improving, I'll probably try slow running Monday.

TM warm up walk then 10 minutes jumping rope.  Then tried to run on TM only made it 1/2 mile before pain started in the back of my left knee.  Aborted run and did 30 minutes on bike trainer.

While I was hoping for better results this morning, by injury seems to be improving and as long as I can jump rope and bike and walk I feel like I'm getting in some decent training.

1 mile very slow on TM, 10 minutes jump rope, 1 mile very slow on TM, 10 minutes jump rope.

It was not a lot of running and it was very slow, but it would be considered running...I think.  I did have some mild pain behind the left knee still, but progress is progress!

1 mile TM walk, 32 minutes on the bike trainer.

A nice recovery day after all the jumping rope this week.  Tomorrow is a travel day so it will likely be a complete rest day.
