Old injuries starting to rear their ugly faces on me. Two nights ago, the night of my last climb and the longest to date, my knees got frustratingly sore and stiff. I did quite a bit of stretching but when I woke the next morning the pain from the night before only worsened. All day I struggled with the discomfort hoping time would heel them. Today my morning was much better so I decided to hit the trails on the bike. Most of the ride was good, although the tougher climbing sections made me grit my teeth a bit over the knee issues. As expected both knees, and especially my "good" knee (the one I didn't have surgery on) started to get stiff and sore quick after the ride that even walking up 5 steps made me want to pop a leftover pain killer. I quickly decided I would head out tonight for an easy going ride that would loosen the knees up a bit, but after sitting for a couple hours they are only feeling worse and worse.
So I decided to pop a pain killer, eat some PB&J, and watch Deadliest Catch (which seems to be on ALL the time). The bad part about sitting around is I always want to eat something! Ughh!!!
