My knee started hurting Friday. So I rested, iced, compressed, elevated, and medicated on Saturday and Sunday. And it felt a lot better! Until I started my first running interval yesterday. And each interval got progressively worse. I had gotten a knee brace to see if that would help and it didn’t. I’m in a lot of pain today, so I’m thinking I’m sidelined until it heals. I’m going to keep walking at least, and I may try to do the C25K workouts on the elliptical and see if reducing the impact on it helps any at all. Based on the little bit of medical knowledge I have, I think it’s a tendon. When I looked up a website for information everything fit, so I’m relatively sure my diagnosis is correct. I am really worried that this will cause me to lose my motivation, so I’m more stressed than I probably should be about it!
And speaking of motivation, tonight is the Biggest Loser finale! I cannot wait to see how they all did! I’m following Ali Sweeney on Twitter and she tweeted yesterday about their finale rehearsal, saying that everyone looked great. Stupid me, I scheduled myself to work in the middle of it! Thank goodness for a DVR. Now I just need to earn enough money tonight to justify the expense of it!
