Notes:

• In case you missed it, I went over what the sports med doc said about my knee here. Basically, my knee seems fine, but I should rest from running until it doesn’t give me pain (which was definitely my plan).
• The sports med doc said I could go on fitness walks if it didn’t bother my knee. I went on a 2 mile walk with Steven and my knee was in a bit of pain during it and a lot after. I got home and canceled my two social walks for the week and felt sorry for myself. Ha.
• I needed to get new shorts for running/walking (ha! not anymore!) and replaced them with the similar version from Target this year (link here). I like them – they’re high-waisted, don’t ride up, and have pockets on each side, but this year, the pockets are a V shape instead of a square like last year, so not as much storage space.
• I think I forgot to mention I dropped of my road bike for a tune-up last week? I used to take it to a place the studio I worked at had ties to, but I don’t work there anymore, and while I liked the shop, I don’t like driving to the town it’s in, so I took in to my local shop. I should get it back this week!
• After I found out I couldn’t walk without pain I went all in on my bike and ended up cycling 85 miles this week. My knee only bothers me when I bike if I push off it it weird on the left side. So I’m careful. I’m enjoying cycling but hope my knee is better soon!
