I seriously doubted I'd be able to run tonight. Since my last run the tendons above my have hurt, especially when I climb stairs. As recently as this afternoon it still hurt. Earlier in the week I took ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory, however, I had to stop taking them yesterday morning because I have a colonoscopy on Friday.
By the time I actually got back to my hotel room this evening, my knee was not hurting. So, I got my running gear on and went for a run. At the beginning of the week (before the pain), I planned to run at least four miles today and I got all four of those miles into the run tonight. I also got a half mile warm-up walk and a half mile cool-down walk. Then I lifted weights for about 30 minutes.
My knee does hurt a little tonight but it isn't doing too bad.
I won't have time to run tomorrow due to air travel and bowel prep. I won't be able to run on Friday due to the colonoscopy and recovery. So my next exercise attempt will be on Saturday. I plan to run three miles if I feel good. However, like the previous two weeks, if I run out of time, I may be forced to count other activities (like chopping wood) as part of my work out.
As soon as I can run with no knee pain, I'll begin to consider running on consecutive days again.
