A painful day, making progress though

Posted by Kevin Doak on Monday at: 7:40pm (November 28th, 2011)

After injuring my knee (region) on Friday, it's been a painful few days culminating with an entirely immobile Sunday.  Today I feel 100x better but still not ready to swim hard.  I think this injury might have come at the perfect time.  I got all my hard work in over the last few months just in time to rest up a little before Nationals.  Although I'm not very confident I'll have a good meet considering I'll still be recovering.  This was a great learning process since I've pinpointed the exact stretch that caused the issue in the first place.  I actually swam today and felt pretty good.  I still have a ways to go before I'll feel good kicking with all my strength but thus far this has been a speedy recovery.

Today I saw a phyiscal trainer and was diagnosed with simply a strained tendon on the inner side of my right knee.  There is no reason to think that simply taking a few days won't heal everything up.  Feeling MUCH improved.
