I'm back at it today after my day of rest and while I enjoyed the time off, I almost wish I didn't take a break at all. Don't get me wrong, it was nice to have an extra hour in my day and my muscles sure appreciated the recovery, but it was hard to get back into it today.
Eight years ago I hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon - amazing experience - but my knees have never been the same. Tonight I was reminded of my awesome 12 mile downward hike into the Canyon when my right knee gave out on me mid exercise. It sounds worse than it actually was. I am used to my right knee buckling every now and then but it sure did make the last half of Insanity more challenging. My left leg definitely got some extra work in. :)
After nursing it with a bag of frozen peas (classic!) for about 10 minutes I felt almost good as new. We will see how things go tomorrow but in the meantime, I'm taking some glucosamine in the hopes it will somehow help rebuild my cartilage before my workout tomorrow night. Wish me luck!
