I got one of the best workout on Friday at...physical therapy. Yes, I know it doesn't sound so exciting and yet, I felt so good that I was able to do planks, abs and all kind of exercises that focused on my entire body and not only on my poor knee.
Saturday was great and I didn't do much besides walking to get my coffee in town.
I woke up sore on Sunday morning. I had promised a walk to my hiking buddy. Hiking is only a word that once belonged to my vocabulary. Anyway, I couldn't cancel and walked the three miles loop in relative discomfort. It was disappointing since I felt so good the day before.
I dragged my leg the whole day on Sunday and was a little worried on Monday. But when I spoke with my physical therapist, he told me that I would probably feel better after my work-out. And, guess what? I did!
So, the lesson once more is balance. My knee needs to move in order to function. That I knew but I never thought that being a little lazy one day could be that bad.
I hope that later, I will be able to skip exercising the way I did before my injury.
Tonight I feel great which is of course nice.
I'm back to two miles a day. The weather is gorgeous and I want to take advantage of it before it gets cold and rainy. So tomorrow I am getting my new bike and plan to ride it every day either in a local bike path or in Yosemite where I haven't been for months.
Life is good1
