So my knee was feeling great yesterday so I decided to go ahead and jog a little. On my first lap, it started to flare up a little but I pushed through. 3 miles into the workout I found myself walking the outside of the track feeling miserable again. I should have never gone to the track in the first place, but once there when I felt discomfort, I should have stopped.
I went ahead and continued with my plan to spin this morning, it helped the first day of recovery so I figured it may help again. I rode just under an hour and stayed in low gears. I wasn't feeling too much pain, so I picked up the rpm's in the middle of the workout and soon regretted it. As soon as I put any hard push into the bike, my knee flared up. It didn't hurt near as bad as when I am running.
Since any sort of exercise that I enjoy is one way or another causes me pain, I am going to take the next 4-5 days off. It would be stupid to push through any discomfort when I have the time to relax and recoup. My race schedule is clear until May, except for the annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, so I am going to take it easy for a while. I just need to focus on my diet.
