Week 19 - Ouch!!! Regrouping in action.

Monday, September 15, 2008

My knees still hurt. Thank goodness it's a day off.


Tuesday, September 16 through Thursday, September 18, 2008

10-mile stationary bike times are very consistently in the 27 minute range. I've started watching Star Trek Voyager. I'm not having any pain when I ride which is nice.

I'm still feeling pain in the knees. I expected this to subside but it's being stubborn. I may revert to walking if it doesn't improve.

Rain - I decided to do another bike ride instead of running. The stress on the knees is less during the ride but I can still exercise. Star Trek Voyager Season 1 moves forward.

I was dragged around the block by our dog and then I did another 10-mile bike ride. The knees are still sore. I'm going to be at a sport psychology conference most of next week. I'm going to use this time to rest the knees and hope to get back to running when I return.


Mental Skills Used for the Week: Given my knees, I'm using dissociative thinking more than I was previously. Consequently, I'm not using associative thinking as much (although it's still happening some). Goal setting is taking a backseat also. I'm using regrouping to try to accomodate the pain but still staying active.

Yuck...!

Until next week...
