Day 16.
And we’re back!
After taking a few days of rest, getting some ‘gel’ inserts and taking the gerital or glucosamine or whatever it is I’m on … I’m now back to training.
On a bike, at least. And it feels like a took a great step. The knee feels fine — at least the pain that was there is gone. In its place is a tiredness that feels good. I like to feel whipped. At least I know I’m doing something.
I was told biking would be a good leg workout with low impact, and that’s exactly what I’m feeling. A good sweat, stretch and some cross-training.
I’m not sure if I’m ready to run or not, but we’ll try that tomorrow. If I can’t, I’ll probably jump on the bike and do that instead until the knee can take running.
One thing about the bike: How the hell do you get the seat to be comfortable? My goodness. I went a few miles to work, worked, then came the few mile home. I had to stop on the way back for a minute when the seat came a bit loose, and folded straight up. Yup. Into my manhood.
I certainly felt like a woman when that happened … and stopped. Some pains, well, you know when to stop for.
If you see me bent over in pain next to a camo covered ‘got milk’ bike (thanks, Dad) with the seat pointed to the heavens, you’ll know two things: My knee can’t take running and I still don’t know how to fix a bike seat.
