The mind was willing June 14, 2005

The knee was not. Today was supposed to be the second day of working out before work (well, besides the ride to work). I had planned for a 2 mile run. I woke up at 5 with no problem. I guess I was hoping that a miracle would happen while I was sleeping and my knee would be fine. But nope, didn’t happen. It started bothering me on the way home last night and there were a couple of times where it complained long and loud. I iced it last night and tried to stay off it but this morning, it was still twingey. So I decided not to run and be safe. Grumble, grumble, grumble… :-(

It bothered me still on the ride to work but I took it slow & easy and it took me 7 minutes longer this morning. It’s not bad right now, I’m more cranky and tired than anything. And frustrated. I really have to figure out what is causing it??? I know it’s the bike but I don’t know why. I haven’t changed anything on it and just in case, last week when I was at the bike shop I had them check out the fit and they said it was fine. The only thing I can think of is the darn hills. Both the morning & afternoon rides start uphill and end downhill. After work, it’s an immediate uphill for 1 mile. I think I’ll try changing my route so I do the uphill at the end when I’m warmed up. If it’s not that, I don’t know what to do. :-(
