A rushed and busy day with prospects of hurt knee =\ . I was finishing up helping someone and was turning away to head back to my cubicle when my right knee lit up with pain for just an instant and my heart sank in an instant. I babied it the rest of the day and kept stretching as much as possible. Of all the fears I have, one up there somewhere near the top is KO’ing my knee again and being out and unable to run for three or more weeks. With that in mind, when I got back home I put my plan into action that I made a couple days back: strength train the legs.
I did seven seven sets of leg curls, each set ranging between 10 and 6 reps. I’m not 100% sure how much weight I was lifting as the machine I was using was a pulley system and the weights were not labeled in any way, which bugged the living daylights out of me. I also did leg lifts and some lightened squats with plenty of stretching between exercises. My knee feels quite a bit better afterwards which is good; however, I think I am going to delay running tomorrow and give my knee some more time to heal up.
The rest of my night is pretty much my own. Roommate is over at my brother’s place trying to watch all four seasons of “LOST” in an inhumanly amount of time on the new LCD TV. I took the opportunity to finish reading chapter four of my C++ book and did some mapping out of the web based game I really want to finish, “Hybertrofy.” I don’t want to spend too much time blabbing about that though, that’s for a separate posting altogether sometime.
