Sleep is nice. Got up and tried out a new pilates video. It was just the intro video, so mostly instructions and some easy things to get started. Only had knee pain once. I'll try the "real" workout tomorrow. I've got to do something in the mornings to wake myself up and shake off the grumpies.
Got a Dr. appt this morning.. This may not seem like a big deal to most of you, but in the military, getting an appointment any day, but especially Monday morning, is nearly impossible. The appointment gods were smiling on me today.
Dr. is family practice, and has no idea what's up with the knee (not surprised), so she ordered x-rays today, I have to call & make an MRI appt tomorrow, and when those results come in, she feels like she'll be able to make an informed decision as to what physical therapy I need to pursue. Feels like I'm standing at the bottom of a long road that goes straight up the mountain face. But that's okay...I like to hike.
She thought elliptical might aggrivate it, and suggested recumbent bike. I don't have access to one of those, so I'll just try the regular bike & hope for the best. And I'll keep at that pilates stuff.
11.5 miles on the bike in the evening. 5 miles of good effort, the rest was just rollin' with Wyatt while she ran. |
