Day at the Lake

Had a wonderful day at the lake yesterday (Hagg Lake).  Christina and I were there along with Liz, Lacey, Chelsea, Chris & Amanda.  We spent about 6 hours there just hanging out, having a picnic, playing with Tobey in the lake, playing Phase Ten, cracking jokes at each others’ expense, playing Frisbee, etc.  Yes I even got out to play some Frisbee but I didn’t run to catch any errant throws.  I did call it quits after I took a rough step on the rough ground and almost went tumbling down.  Don’t want to injure myself at this point in recovery!

Took a day off from the gym yesterday but back to the weights and bike.  I’m still working on my knee stretching and still seem to be (frustratingly) stuck around 120 degrees.  I think my knee IS getting much easier to move in the 0-100 range and better in the 100-120 range as well though still a bit stiff there.  Part of the problem with getting past 120 seems more related to other stuff besides my knee.  I actually get quite a bit of pain below my knee on the backside toward the outer edge which is probably more related to something I did to my calf.  My calf is otherwise not really sore so it’s kinda strange.  I’ll just keep plugging away – my doctor seems confident I’ll get my full range back eventually.  And if things keep going well I’m still hoping to start some light “jogging” in about 3 more weeks…

Happy Running & Dirty Feet,
