Note
(sick)
Three days off in a row now. This is frustrating. I can't seem to kick this stupid cold/flu (what's the difference between those, anyway?), and in addition, the knee I bruised in Lunsen last Wednesday night seems to have arbitrarily started hurting again, a lot.
Biking 30:00 [3]
Woke up without a fever for the first time in a week or so. Throat still hurt a bit and I'm still coughing some. Plus the knee thing. The knee: I hit it hard on the ice a week ago, it hurt for two days and then stopped hurting and I forgot about it. Then, I've done nothing for the last three days so, sure enough, the knee starts hurting again yesterday. A lot. At the top of the knee-cap. Having had knee surgery on that knee in the distant past, I got worried. So I did what any self-respecting orienteer of my modest means would have done: shamelessly stalk our club doctor at the gym until I could "run into him" and get a free 5-second diagnosis. But first, the workout. This was half an hour on a spinning bike.
Cross-Training 30:00 [3]
And that was followed by a dreadfully boring half-hour on the stair machine. By the way, in honor of Valentine's day the cafeteria I eat lunch at served Love Chicken. Which, if you are wondering, is just like regular chicken, only with.... No, it's just like regular chicken.
T.rex training 30:00 [1]
And then half an hour of mostly core work and arms followed, time to finish exactly when the gympa class our club doctor, Kenneth Jonsson, was in let out. So I "ran into" him in the hallway afterwards and casually mentioned my knee. Sure enough, he graciously looked at it for a few seconds, decided it's not clear what's wrong, but there didn't seem to be much fluid, meaning that nothing seems to be torn.
