Week 10 -- Ups and Downs

Max Distance -- 2.0 miles

Weight loss this week -- 0

Weight loss so far -- -2

Well, I really rocked it this week. I was able to complete my training as scheduled. I did 16 minutes of jogging the first day I exercised this week, and completed 2 miles between walking and jogging. The second day, I moved up to the next week on the schedule. There was less overall jogging, but bigger chunks together. I was surprised that I didn't really had a hard time doing the big chunks, until my knees started hurting.

That was the downfall of this week. My knees started hurting while I was exercising. Then, they started hurting worse when I was stretching, which was not a good sign. They usually feel better when I stretch them out after a workout. I got home and went to unhook one of my kids from their car seat, and when I locked my knee, I almost fell to the ground. I thought it was just a sprain or something, but it has really been hurting. It feels like my knee cap and my tibia are just grinding together. And when my knee locks, it takes my breath away. So, I will be laying off the exercising this week. Maybe I will go to the pool with the kids or try to walk a little around the neighborhood, but nothing too strenuous until I get this looked at!
