This morning I had a cramp at the top of my calf the size of a golf ball. I could actually see the knot in the muscle. When I was finally able to stretch it out, it was one of those knots that you can feel as they stretch and it felt so good. I spent most of the day without the brace, but I did wear it to school so I could justify wearing my soccer warmups. I'll probably milk that for the rest of the week and return to "professional dress" (which, to me means khakis with my sneakers) after spring break.
I had another good 40 minute ride this morning. Tomorrow I think I will vary the resistance a little more and work in some different gearing to see how my knee responds. I wasn't able to get on the treadmill during planning today because of a meeting but I did make sure to get a 45 minute walk in at really good pace around the neighborhood after track practice. I have noticed that walking downhill causes a bit of discomfort but it's nothing that I think I need to worry about. Aside from the knotted up calf muscles, today was pretty good.
I did my core workout today without the brace for the first time, and that went well too so I added one more set:
Core 11x25
Planks 4x45sec
