Day 190 - Slow progress and left knee setback

So I have come down with an awful cold, so taking a break from the gym for a bit. Timing couldn't be better since I need to take it easy on my left knee right now. I managed to tear my quad a bit where it connects to the patellar tendon. The only thing that will heal it is time, and taking it easy. So now my right knee progress will be halted, no more deep squats or jumping. This was pretty bad news, and if my left knee doesn't feel better soon, it's back to the doctor to get an MRI.

Other than that, my right knee is starting to feel more and more normal! Which is great, hopefully I'll be able to get back to running soon. With summer quickly approaching too, I am looking forward to doing some SUPing this season and hiking too! Already got my yearly pass to the local trails and definitely want to get my moneys worth. Weekend road trips are the way to go.

I have a 75km bike ride coming up, the Ride for Heart. I am training for that as much as I can. Hopefully the coming weeks there will be lots of warm days, so I can get comfy in my own saddle again. Might be upgrading my bike soon too if I can manage to save some money for one. I was thinking of getting a road/triathlon bike (specialized alias seen below) so I can take the leap and complete a sprint distance!



That's all I have to update now, kind of slow at this point. But as the summer season picks up, I'll have lots more to post.

Till the next post,
Steph
