I worked out Mon and tues as well as last sunday (yay me!) and tried to finish off that 30 Squats a day challenge. It was all going so well, I was building up my running distance again, everything!
Then half way through Wednesday, as I sat at my desk at work, my right knee started hurting, so I straightened it, and it stopped. I bent it, and it hurt. Walking it was fine, just bending it, that hurt. Well, that progressed to hurting and feeling stiff and almost swollen thurs, friday and saturday as well. I rested it Wed, Thurs, Friday, and iced it those days too. Then I walked a whole bunch on Saturday, and played a game of hockey. ( yes, that hurt it a little bit) I iced it again on Saturday night, and yesterday I woke up and it... felt fine. A little stiff, but no pain anymore. Yay! :) I kept my activity down to walking, however, trying to play it safe.
Today, again no pain, so I did a 30 min NTC work out (Nike Training Club, a cool new app for iPhone and iPad) and I went for a 30 minute walk with the dogs. I felt the pain, or a phantom of it, as I was doing the lunges and squats, so I think I'm going to ice it again, but... fingers crossed whatever problem my knee had with me last week, its over with, so I can continue training. Going to try for a 3 mile run tomorrow. Might do some yoga tonight before bed, to clear my brain a tad bit.
But tomorrow also marks the start of the 30 Pushups a day challenge as well. So I'm going to try that, and if my knee doesn't hate me, I'll also restart the squat challenge at the same time.
I should have a couple hockey games this weekend too, which will be nice.
