I learned after the fact that its best to change directions around Elk Lake when you plan to run more than one lap.
As I mentioned in my last entry, it is so strange that its my other knee that's all creeky and pained. I spent the afternoon in Physio and massage.
The massage was great. He focused on my glutes and legs. It is very tight along my IT band and accross my bum... still! His work around my knee really helped.
The physio noticed that my pelvis is a bit off kilter because of all the tightness... this is probably what agravated my knee joint. She predicts a minor- if any- rip in the miniscus and says its primarily the tendon that is irritated accross my knee cap.
EXCERCISES: Inner Thigh Leg Lifts (30 each side), High Knee lift and then oscilating up and down to loosen my pelvis, Pulling in my right leg with my hands while I push the same knee out, then the opposite push/pull motion with my left leg. Oscilating hamstring stretch as well.
She wants me to run once this week... I'll Aim for eliptical work on Thursday, longer Bike on Wed. (Bah!). I need to get in a swim tomorrow... I'm not sure when that will happen... pool i guess and some weights before dinner (I'll bring a change of clothes to kayaking).
That's it for tonight! Met another Y-tri dude: Andy. Its a crazy small world.
