Rest day aches and pains

When I went out on Monday, I was rushing to get back for my call. I didn’t take time to stretch. And that’s what I was blaming my tight muscles around my left knee. I did 30 minutes of tight leg yoga. I felt much better, except the tightness in the knee. Then I remembered that I stepped on a big rock when I was rushing back.

I wasn’t looking and came down on a hunk of loose blacktop. It knocked me a bit. When it happened I went into immediate denial mode— I’m fine. It’s fine. Nothing to worry about. Denial so strong that it didn’t occur to me until late yesterday afternoon.

F*%k.

I was hopeful that some Arnicare gel would resolve it. I might ice it today.

But in the meantime— rest. I will stretch out again with some yoga, but no running today.
