I was ordered to rest the Wednesday before last. It has been 11 days, and today I got the green light for a short easy 15 minutes on the treadmill.
Did it hurt? No. Not hurt. My knee felt stiff, but so did the rest of my lower half!
But I will now admit, I felt a twinge creep into my knee. And focused on my feet. I feel like I have another issue pulling at it all. I FEEL like my right foot is pulling/turning in, and that my hip is also "not quite right". And I know the piriformis can be a culprit in it all in some cases, and I have indeed had piriformis issues before.
Soooo I ran, 2.2km. 18 min. Nice and slow. With a bit of walk for warmup and cooldown. Then I stretched. And stretched, and stretched and yes, stretched some more!
And now I ice. And will ice and ice. Hopefully I will wake up, and sleep I suppose, pain free.
10 days until a 3 day over night hike too. The pressure is on!
On another note. My lower carb, moderate fat and protein eating is going well. It is not a long term thing, but I would like to drop some body fat before I start carb cycling. After 3 days on it, and then camping for 3 days and staying pretty true to diet, I am down about 4 lb. (started at 156lb and 26.5% body fat, which was way better than I thought I was going to be when I started!)
Keeps me entertained right?
