I have been slacking on my workouts for the last …. month?! Yikes.
Robie Creek is NEXT WEEKEND. And my last long run of 10 miles was…
yelp…
March 1st…
I DNS’ed my St. Patricks Day race because I had a fever and strep. To me, fever = contagious and I didn’t want to make it worse. And my knee has been bothering me so I thought I might as well rest.
For a month.

| my daily mile – sigh |
I attempted a few runs here and there with some KT tape on the knee, but the tape started irritating my skin. So I tried a run without. Yeah, that wasn’t a good idea. Before the knee didn’t really hurt but it wasn’t “right.” Now, I can feel some annoyance when I run without tape and a brace. Although not when I walk and only when I am really cranking on my pedals uphills on the bike. Oh, it is a noisy beast when I squat. So I assume those are not good to do. Sidenote, I think my knee is unhappy from doing some hammy work on the machine. I think I wasn’t sitting on the machine right and it wasn’t just from one occurrence, so I am not quite sure.
BUT I got a little brace thingie for my knee because I AM doing Robie Creek whether I have to WALK the darn thing.

| not my knee from here |
My knee has no pain but my leg feels heavy with it on. I have a doctors appointment 2 days before Robie so let’s say that this running season isn’t working out to how well I had it the last couple of years.
Oh, and my strep didn’t really get “cured” in March and I am starting this April with it moved into my tonsils. Seriously, I feel like the April Fools here. Thankfully modern medicine is working it’s magic this time around.
BUT the knee thing brace and all – and this super awesome weather – girlfriend here gots her mojo back.

I spent all yesterday running AND biking all over town. You don’t want to know where and how long I biked because it was cray. (it was HOURS FYI) I may have got a sunburn. hello premature aging!
Halla- Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day – I nommed that.

I earned that shizit.
Did you get your free cone yesterday?
Any knee advice other the rest, ice and elevation, which didn’t work.
Are you running Robie? Will you come out at cheer for me?
