I thought Friday would never get here. I swear yesterday between 10 and 11 was the longest hour of my life and that includes the hour I had dental surgery.
The plan for yesterday was to run after work but it was raining and my WRF is a wimp (j/k) so we went to the fitness room downstairs. There are 2 treadmills and one of them was taken. Kim offered up the treadmill to me but I told her I would do the elliptical instead since it is supposed to be easier on the knees. I was on it for 5 minutes before I realized, OMG, I forgot how much I hate the elliptical!!! So I hopped off and got on the recumbent bike. I did 6.15 miles in 30 minutes. I was on the bike about 2 minutes when my knee felt like it was going to lock up so I kicked it out to the side of the bike and it popped really loud and was fine. There was a group of people doing P90X and it was good motivation to move. I almost wish we would have ran outside though because it was so freaking HOT in that room!!
Last night I took a long bubble bath and read a book on my Kindle. I had a little bit of pain when I straightened my leg but other than that it was fine.
My plan is to get in a run tomorrow morning. Not sure how far I will make it. The training group is doing 9 but if I can get 6 in I will feel like I made a huge accomplishment.
Nothing much planned for the weekend. I know there are some redbox movies we want to watch but other then that it looks to be a lazy (except for the run) couple of days.


Gah, your knee popping is scaring me! Probably good that you did the bike though...hopefully your run tomorrow goes well!
ReplyDeleteI find the bike so much more boring than the elliptical, though I do like riding for fun outside quite a bit! Riding for fitness though is boring for me. : ) So glad we all have lots of different options of what works best for us.
