So then Monday morning at the gym at work I tried the elliptical for the 1st time ever and I wasn't terribly thrill with it.. My HR never got about 140, even after 30 min... anyway, I felt good, so on the treadmill... no luck.. only 1/4 mile before the pain kicked in..
Well, tomorrow is D-day, I'm going to visit an orthopedic Dr.. I'm think it will result in first an MRI then 2nd, a scope of the knee.. Best case I'll be doing none impact for the next month.. which will still give me over 2 month to train for the marathon... This really stinks, because of a football injury in 94' I'm still paying the price.. But, I can still swim with no pain (3200yards Mon, 1400 Tues) (I have some pretty good long workouts if anyone is interested) and keep up with none impact workouts. I haven't tried biking, could be painful. Also, I think I have my brother hooked as he's in the market for a tri-bike.
This could give him time to catch up so I don't totally annihilate him in his first race.. Were brothers, we compete.. That's what we do best together...
