I'm up in NH for a few days for the holidays and I ran on the treadmill for 27 mins this morning. I felt my knee a little bit off and on, but nothing like last monday; I immediately stretched and iced when I finished. I haven't felt my knee hurt once since. So I am going to call this a small victory. The two days of full rest with stretching and icing really helped a lot. Now I'm going to do nothing but eat and drink for another two days (plus some more stretching and icing) before I hit the treadmill again on Sunday.
Which brings me to my next point in that I am finding myself building with anxiety because I am not either running, biking or swimming on a daily basis! I think its the routine that I have gotten into and have become comfortable with and by NOT doing anything athletic on a daily basis, it feels unnatural. Weird, right? Or its the OCD in me kicking in....
Regardless, I want to wish everyone HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
(and I am super excited come Jan 1st to get this show going for 2010!)...its gonna be an EPIC year!
Welcome to my world, I've had anxiety since September! We have time, don't stress. We should plan a ride before IMNO assuming the snow melts! Merry Christmas!
