A painful bike and a good run

BIKE: 1hr 46 mins and 30 miles

RUN: 25 mins and about 2.5-3 miles

Now why is running OK but biking painful? Isn’t that weird? Also, I can stand on the pedals and relieve a lot of the pain.

The run was good, but I probably shouldn’t have done it in the Kinvaras. But I wanted to know how they would feel. In the end, I should have been in more stable shoes. The ankle got uncomfortable in the first 0.5 miles before settling down, then my footfalls were less than stellar for the rest. I was afraid to take my eyes off the ground in front of me, lest I trip or step on an uneven surface. I was a distracted run, but I had a good pace and was happy to be running.

In fact, I felt so good after the run that I thought about biking more! The knee felt great!

I’m so torn as to what to do. Complete rest? Keep going?

If I were to stop for every pain I felt, I’d be in the doctor’s office or resting a LOT. Sometimes pains come and go without explaination. But this one has lingered since the weekend of…let me look…2 weeks ago. Wait no…It was April 6th. Am I sure about that?!? It’s only one week? Seems longer…. Am I getting too panicked over nothing? It’s hard to track because I don’t always log the new or minor pains. Like I said, they come and go, and it’s not until they are debilitating or major before I start to really take note.
