It was bound to happen. My body has been pretty good to me. No real injuries, no soreness and the ability to just keep on truckin. That is until now. There was the potential. I heard the warnings. But I was invincible, or so I thought. First, in June my foot hurt. It still hurts. It will probably hurt for awhile, or at least until after the marathon once I can rest it and let it heal. Now its my knee, or I should say knees. Mainly my right knee, but the left one is sore. The last few days I am even walking funny because of the knee. I hope its not serious. My athletic brain won't let me stop though. I will take a break tonight, but will go for the 17 miles this Saturday. Last Saturday's 9 miles were fine. But Tuesday was a different story. I ached everywhere from the knee down. It was just a bad day. But to rest it and let it get better, I won't run until Saturday. I know it won't be enough, but its the best I will allow.
I did though, do P90X this morning. Chest/Shoulders/Arms was the workout. I think that was the official name. Its only the second time we have done this combination and I did a lot better than last week. I stayed focused for the most part and did hundreds of push-ups. But on the tough ones, like one arms and clapping, I humbled myself and did them on my knees. (funny since I just spoke about how my knees are hurting!). Doing them on my knees allowed me to continue the intesity of the workout. I was happy with my workout.
Last Friday I weighed in at 178. Its my all time low in over 10 years. I know I have gained back a lot due to me completely disregarding my diet over the weekend, so I am prepared to not get discouraged. Instead I will take the next week to get back down to 178 by Friday 8/3. Short term goal is 175 by Pistons. I think that is August 19th.
