For being sick. I am tired of this feeling. So I'm not letting it happen anymore. I will be all better tomorrow. Will my knee be all better? I don't know. I rode for 45 minutes on the trainer yesterday and it felt fine. But thennnnnn I walked a little ways to Spanish class, walked some more home and what do ya get? More pain. It's slight but I set myself back. Maybe the diagram above will help. I think I have irritated my medial meniscus under the medial femoral condyle. Just irritated not torn. With my current mechanics and lifestyle I don't know how it will ever heal. I must be patient. That may be the key to recovery. I am obsessing over it like all injuries I've had. I wish I had an orthopedist on staff but I'm not that rich yet.
I had my 54th Spanish class yesterday. I am learning it slowly but the class has taken on a very lazy approach. They seem to laugh at everything now for no reason. I also feel like the teacher just wants to get through it. She doesn't care enough that we learn. I am just making the most of it now as it will benefit me in the future, or at least give me leverage. If the potential for lay offs come around; I can at least say: "Hey I've learned Spanish and it didn't cost the company a dime". Who knows if it's valuable but it's got to help.
I looked at my '08 training plan which started in late March. I plan to start '09 plan on Monday so early March is an improvement. Hopefully I will be in shape earlier than last year. I would call last year a success so why not follow the formula? I will post my daily log for the benefit of all three of my followers. I am gearing out the El Maricahi so use as a training machine early on. This should work well.

DUDE you are obessed! I think you knee is just tired and if you don't take a break it will be permanent. My friend Jan did tear her maniscus and she had to have surgery!! I know you know all about that stuff...but you have been active for many years and maybe it's your body's way of saying "Hey, let up just a bit!"
ReplyDeletetalk to a doctor about the knee. a meniscus is a very easy thing to diagnose.
ReplyDeletelooking at the diagram, I still don't think it's the meniscus. that's a pretty constant thing, and putting weight on it would make it hurt worse, not motion.
ReplyDeleteevery time i read/type meniscus all i can think is "peniscus".
My head hurts... I think I will rest and stop thinking....
