Knee OA is a cruel, cruel bitch. I had a fantastic week of training last week but because my husband had to work and my daughter had a full roster of dance activities I couldn't squeeze in a run all weekend. I did do over an hour of strength training but apparently my leg would prefer if I kept up the running since this morning I woke up to stabbing and burning pain in my knee.
I'd blame the chocolate cake or the Halloween candy but that's too easy. Yeah, I'm pretty sure excessive sugar consumption isn't good for my knee but I doubt it is solely responsible for me whining and slow breathing through pain in bed at 5am. I wasn't even sure I could walk, it was that bad.
Even now, after a hot shower and 2 extra strength liquid Advil and some light walking, my knee is still burning and getting the odd stabbing pain.
But, despite that, I brought my running gear because by 3pm this could feel fine. To be totally honest though, right now I just want to crawl back to bed. Today's plan calls for at least 4 miles. Here's hoping by 3pm I feel totally different.
