So, initially when I was experiencing incredible pain on Monday night I thought I had reinjured my knee but the more I thought about it the pain was not as bad as the first time I injured my knee(April 2008). When I woke up on Tuesday morning it still hurt but I figured out I had just pulled something when I was doing my exercises on Sunday.
I updated for what I did on Tuesday but I was so busy that I am just now posting what I did yesterday. Though I was still having a bit of pain I decided to get back on the treadmill. Only to discover that I lost much of what I had gained. I was on the treadmill for 20mins and went 1.30mi at 3.8/9mph. I speed-walked most of it and was only able to run .25mi at 4.1. Wanting to still keep my heart-rate up but take the stress off my knee I decided to get on the exercise bike. I rode the bike for 10mins at 2.8-3.0 and went 2.2mi. It wasn't a terrible workout it was just slightly depressing to feel as if I back-slid. I know I just have to keep at it more and I will eventually get over the 2mi mark!! That's all for now. Have a great weekend.
God bless,
Rebecca

Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI've totally been there! Don't get discouraged. Keep pushing yourself. I know injuries hurt, but offer up the pain and keep pushing (obviously to an extent, if the pain is excruciating then that is your body telling you to stop). And don't underestimate the value of ice and motrin. I am thinking of you and praying for you from across the ocean!
