Event: DVOA Tyler
Walking 1:00:00 [0] 2.5 km (24:00 / km)
shoes: R-NB 531's
Long slow walk with the kids, doing some mapping
Friday Feb 8, 2008 #
Running 8:00 [2] 1.25 km (6:24 / km)
shoes: R-NB 531's
4x2 minutes, with heat before, walking warmup, 2 minute walks between. My L-PT hurt pretty bad at the end of the 3rd 2 minute run, and at 80 seconds into the last two minute run. It was rough finishing that last 2 minute run while trying not to limp, or quit.
I think I'm probably out for the season, as this start in Dec.15th, and the knee continues to degrade despite drastic reductions in training, including 3 weeks with <10 minutes per day, and 1 week totally off, DT, ice, 1200-2400mg of IB per day, etc... I'm not sure what else I can throw at this.

Running 5:00 [2] 0.9 km (5:33 / km)
~3x1:40, on trails, L-knee sore after ~30 second, and worse by the end, but not nearly as bad as the next day
Walking 15:00 [1] 1.3 km (11:32 / km)
shoes: R-NB 531's
Wednesday Feb 6, 2008 #
Running 3:00 [2] 0.55 km (5:30 / km)
shoes: R-NB 531's
L-knee okay until 40 seconds of running, then sore. Increasingly sore during each running bit and hurt at each step of walking by the end. So a bit worse than yesterday. Was 3x 1-minute runs. Heat before, ice after, and the ice did quell the pain more or less entirely.
Walking 23:00 [1] 2.0 km (11:30 / km)
shoes: R-NB 531's
Before/mid/after runs.
Strength 1 [1]
3 sets of 600mg IB & DT (as of 10pm...)
-----------------> AND I found something physically different between the knees. The Left Pat. Tendon seems to have a line of tissue running across it, that's relatively soft & loose (compared to the harder tendon). The R Pat Tendon has a ridgeline there too - basically at the bottom of where it's all tendon to where the bone begins in earnest underneath - but it's much more solid on the R Pat. Tendon. I wonder if that's an inflamed section or a torn up section or my imagination. I think I really must get a doc. appt. now.

Running 1:52 [1] 0.3 km (6:13 / km) +6m 5:39 / km
shoes: R-NB 531's
L-PT better than yesterday. Got to end of 1st 30 second running bit w/o pain, and it wasn't as bad by the end - almost recovering at the end of the walk. The 24 hour trend is good. (But is it signal, or noise?)
Walking 18:30 [1] 1.85 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: R-NB 531's
Strength 2 [1]
2 sets of stretch, DT & 600mg IB. - 11am & 2pm (both late a bit)
Strength 2 [1]
2 more 600mg/stretch/DT sessions. AJ turned 7 today and we went to one playplace/arcade, that had a fire alarm evac., then another. We raced cars side by side..., did laser tag, did ball shooting air cannon things.
Strength 2 [1]
2 600mg/DT sessions. Dropped the stretching as I noticed yesterday PM that my L-Quad is vastly more flexible than my R-Quad at this point, which I imagine may cause problems of it's own. So I'm doing some symmetric DT with a bit roller on both Quads, and a quarter roll on the Pat Tendons. Can't press that hard on the Pat tendons.

Walking warm up/down 19:00 [1] 1.0 mi (19:00 / mi)
shoes: R-NB 531's
Warmed up L-Knee. Walked ~20 minutes with ~ 1 minute of running in three short bits in the middle. L-PatTendon fine until 1st run, then mildly sore to the end. Ice after, and then it didn't hurt any more.
Not great, but if it can hold at this level while I slowly ramp back to normal training, that would be fine.
Seeing a doc might be worthwhile. Probably not, but maybe.

Running (Grass, Dirt) 50 [1] 0.08 mi (10:01 / mi)
Strength 1 [1]
1st AM set: 600mg IB & stretch. No DT.
Strength 3 [1]
Completed 3 more sets of stretch, DT & 600mg IB. The DT currently consists of a roll of quarters, rolled into both the L-PT and the Quad, by hand, with sitting. I wonder if the (new) DT of the Quad itself is helpful.
Certainly with the hamstring injury, the point where the pain was felt wasn't always the same as the point that needed DT work (I think.)

Walking 15:00 [1]
A bunch of brisk walking around the house, chasing kids. No heat before, but I did do ice after. One point of mild but sudden pain rebuking my attempt to speed up...
