Slow is smooth.....

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

- military training saying

Today the knee is better. Feels tight and stiff but nowhere near the amount of pain I was feeling with it yesterday or Monday evening.

I called the Ortho I was referred to and they can't see me for another two weeks. Alot of good that does. So....here's the plan - I'm going to ice it while watching the DC Utd match on tv tonight, do a basic strength workout Thursday evening, a light workout at the gym Friday - and then see if it's ready for the group ride on Saturday. If it continues to improve at the rate it has thus far, I should be ok to continue training.

I feel lucky that it's not an ACL tear (knock on wood) and that it seems to be improving. Hopefully, I can work with the TNT coaches to make sure I'm not doing something wrong with my technique to create a repetetive stress injury. Hopefully, I can swim for the time I would have spent running and can improve that.

Go Team!
