Spin to Recover

     Despite what my knees were telling me, I rolled out of bed this morning and went to spin.  I didn't overdue it, I stayed in the small ring and kept up a moderate rpm.  It felt really great on my quads, but near the end I started to feel it again in my knee and ankle. 
     My joints are starting to feel better, but they still stiffen up on me if I sit for an hour or more.  The good news is, the swelling in my feet subsided so I was able to wear shoes to work this morning.  That was a huge bonus; the weather has started to make a turn for the cold and I was a little chilly leaving work last night in my sandals. 
     Hopefully my recovery continues at this pace.  I am hoping to go to run club tomorrow and participate as much as possible.  At this point I vision myself going through the warm up and then walking the track while everyone runs.  I am trying not to overdue it, but it is difficult to rest.
