I've been out of commission this week since the 1/2. Every step I take I feel my knee. I'm starting to reconsider if it was all worth it.....nah, it totally was. I limped for two days and am now walking reasonably normal, but it still hurts and is keeping me from being as active as I want. I tried to bike this afternoon.....
See why? Imagine how disappointed I was when 5 blocks in I decided to turn around because I decided it wasn't a good idea to ignore my body. And you know what else I'm guilty of? Not stretching as much as I should. I just researched how to cure a bum knee, and of course, stretching is the cure. Is it just that stretching is boring so I don't want to do it? Or is it that ouch-is-this-really-supposed-to-feel-good sensation I always seem to have? I suppose I can't complain about my knee when I'm not doing everything I can to help it along.....I guess I'll substitute my bike ride with some basic quad, hammy, and IT band stretches....and a little bit of chocolate. :)
