I know many of you have been following the saga of my knee with interest and concern. I feel like I’ve got a whole community watching out for me and wishing me well and cheering me on.
Tonight something really good happened.
Here’s what I posted on Facebook.
Feeling hopeful. Really hopeful. First time on the spin bike without any pain when pedaling while standing. No pain while using big gears either. Phew. There’s hope.
The last time I went to a spin class I could spin in easy gears well enough but it hurt to put resistance on and it hurt to stand. So I didn’t do those things.
But today, nothing. It felt fine. I kept stopping, expecting it to hurt but nothing. I did sprints. I did hills. I did max wattage drills. All felt good. Well, except for the getting sweaty and out of breath part.
It was only a 45 minute class, not the 90 I’ve usually been doing over the winter but I walked home after feeling happy and strong.
And actually I felt so good I stuck around for the 30 minute core workout after.
Yay! There’s hope.
That’s awesome, Sam! Great news.
So glad to hear that good news! Hurray for hope!
