Notes

New Altra shoes are nice, but my knee is not. Rolling with Joe before the run, tried to come up on it and popped my Popliteal something. I rolled with Toshi afterwards and ran these miles but had to skip lots of the obstacles. By evening I was in very serious pain and could not bend the knee. Next day it calmed down throughout the day and I'm logging this 3 days later and it is okay. the pain is not at the fibular head, but behind it on the tibular head, so I self-diagnose as a joint capsule/politeal tendon tear. I think I had my shin/knee/thigh on the mat and tried to lever up with my fibula as the axis while creating tension with this tendon and tore it a bit. I bend it beyond 90° for the first time today, did some lunges and leg lifts that worked it and it is now pretty tight but not sore. So I'm in rehab mode, adding work and allowing recovery progressively. Won't go on the mat again until I'm sure I can guard any weakness.
