I was doing something really mundane this morning, like reaching down to pick up my shoes, when my knee barked at me with intensity. I felt like I was one hair away from a real disaster for R2R. I regained my footing and then did some extra stretching and took some Advil in hope that it would loosen things up around the joint. I waited as long as I could to go for my ride, but eventually I had to go out to ride due to meetings and errands that had to be done today. So I took my road bike out for a spin in order to test things out. My knee continued to feel a bit tight, and like the wrong move in any direction would cause me pain, or worse.
I ended up barely climbing today, and backing way off of my normal pace. I iced my knee when I got home and hoped to maybe do another short ride later in order to keep my weekly mileage up to snuff. When I left later it was clear to me that I needed to get off the bike. So I did.Tonight I’m going to do more icing and take more Advil. I hope to be back to normal tomorrow. Wish me luck.
