Went to the knee specialist who thinks I tore cartilage in my knee. If that's true, then the shot he gave me should allow me to run without pain for a month or so. If longer, great. But if it solves it... then when it hurts again, they'll have to scope the cartilage. BUT, if it doesn't hurt - then awesome. SO we'll see.
I'm supposed to run over a mile by next week to see if it is hurting. I'm gonna start training for a 5k like I've never run before in my life - basically from couch potato to 5k runner. Hopefully that will help.
And that's all for now. When I get back from Jersey, I'm gonna start p90x again, but two days of yoga at the gym, and plyometrics instead of kenpo. And then Eric and I are going to bike, run, and swim at least once a week to keep up what we have gained from training for the tri.
Now... time for a serious vacation.
Isn't it amazing how the little changes make such a HUGE difference. Being aware of what you're eating and just cutting back a little bit helps SO much!
