It was off to class today, figuring I'd get a decent workout in. Little did I know my body had other ideas. Thursday was a tough softball game, complete with me slipping and falling in the grass running after a lazy pop fly into shallow center, a couple of dives for hard grounders that came up empty, and one stumble/stab/dive that moved my left knee pad enough to scrape up my scar (ouch). At any rate, I knew I'd be a bit sore, but when I started stretching it was...umm...not good. Qi gong was painful (bad sign), and warmup kicks were almost impossible to finish. So I made it through the first 4 red sash blocks, but that was it. The left knee incredibly tender, but what sealed it for me was that I felt the right knee starting to tweak because I had to favor the left. Time to sit. For the rest of class I called out strikes and counted. And did some more pushups and situps. And tomorrow is another day...
