Weird leg feeling
I just got home, sat down with my computer and accidentally bumped my leg on the chair--and realized it is sore to the touch. It was sore today walking around, but it feels almost bruised now. I did use the foam roller but it was a very soft one, almost mushy. Weird. I'm icing it and we'll see what happens. It wasn't super-sore before, so I hope I didn't make it worse with the foam roller.
Since I didn't feel so hot running yesterday, I decided to just do 30 minutes today and then get on the elliptical for as much time as my schedule would allow. I felt better today, at least for the first 15 minutes. My good knee is sore but I've been doing lunges at Dr. Brady, which I never do, so I'm attributing it to that. Anyway, when I turned around after 15 minutes, I heard a guy breathing behind me and (oops!) started to race him. I could tell I wasn't breathing nearly as hard as he was, but after a few minutes, my knee reminded me that I'm probably not ready for pickups yet. You could tell the guy felt so cool that he outlasted me, but I know I can take him when I'm at full strength.
My old boss sent me a tub of different kinds of popcorn and I think I just ruined my dinner eating it (I sound like my grandma.) I hate when that happens because I really do (try to) enjoy all my meals! Maybe by the time I make dinner I'll be hungry again. On the agenda tonight is whatever I have left in the fridge and pantry. Yum!
