Growing-up’s BodyBlog

Early on Tuesday I ran for 3 km, slow, and early today I run again another 3 km, slow.  After that, went to the gym for a short work-out; shoulders, traps, triceps, forearms, and end doing biceps.

Again light weights since I have not been able to work out as I wish I could.  My knee is still holding water, I rather take care of it the other option is to have it open in a none intrusive operation to remove the bursitis I have in it.

The sad thing is that my running calendar for this year is already lost, significant runs I do and the near one the Clasica Santaneca this next July 20th is simply out of my reach.

What is going to happen now, is that I’m going to keep running maybe stick to this distance instead of the usual 5 km on Monday, 7 km on Wednesday, 5 km on Friday, and 12 km on Sunday… are going to be there waiting for me to start reading another race.  I think my Sensei might be really happy as I will have to focus in my other sports Karate and Jui Jitsu.

No I don’t think so, he has always use me as an example before the younger ones, as what to do how to do to keep the spirit high by doing sports, and keeping the head clean out of trash from modern society (he call TV as worse as Coca Cola, Caffeine and cheap food)

I will have to rethink what I’m doing and how I’m training, I think one of the areas that is going to start looking better is BBing, as for last I will stop burning my body in a long distance run… but this is for now.

Yesterday I tried a short run of only 3 km to trial the knee.  Found that, it is better but I was feeling pins in under the patela bone.  Not the correct kind of pain.  Stop and go back home for some ice.

After that seek help from my friend Gustavo, as a physical-therapist he start assessing the knee. the knee seems to be fin, but the muscles, specially the leg’s biceps seems to be the one that most suffer from my knee problems.  He focus there and work on it.

After Gustavo’s work I have to pay him for the service, he just decline saying I need a running and training partner to be in good shape to keep me on the road.

Thank you, my leg is feeling much better, head to the gym, and start doing stationary bike, for some time then pick up the weights on the shoulders and arms, I have not trained them for some time, they needed some attention.  Found Jacob the guy who is trying to give me some tips and (he says) trying to teach me Jui - Jitsu.  We talked about coming back for training, he is a great sport, so he understand that this is going to take some additional time; he says take the time you need, you cannot train well when you are in pain, or different pains.

So this is it, next week I will be doing some cross training, and rehabilitating the leg.

After Friday’s Belt Exam (no longer green belt; yea, yea, I know lazy?  Perhaps, but also many things happened in my life that stop me from doing the exam before) My right knee that has been giving me trouble for a while finally give up.  Saturday, though I was using a guard my knee got more resent, to the point that today I could not go out for my 12 km run of the morning.
What I’m going to do tomorrow, perhaps do the right thing instead of going out for a spin @ 3 minutes per kilometre perhaps try something like 6 or 7 minutes per kilometre, don’t stress the knee more than what is already hurt.
Ligaments and tendons are fin, but I need to stop adding pressure to it, or else…
