Bath

I find the  best way to check the status of my knee is in the bath.  For some reason I can feel in comparison to my other knee exactly what the difference is and where the swelling remains.  The verdict being there is still swelling.  I'm not sure why I can't feel it exactly the same when I lie on the couch in exactly the same position.  There remains "golf ball" swelling....

On Friday I nearly got run over by a bus.  Seriously.  Admitedly I was running a red light. and the bus was beeping.  Still, I actually think it was uncalled for to accelerate at me?!!!  Anyway, it made me realise I could move "at speed" if required for the necessary 10 metre sprint not to get run over.  Despite that its not fully healed yet.

So, not ready to go for weekend rides.

Besides. I need to change the front tyre on my bike - again...before I can ride again.  This time I will double check there are no obstructions in the tyre.

I will get back to the gym this week.  I'll assess on Monday whether I think I can do RPM.  If I don't think its a good idea, I'll definitely do some weights, as not only do I need to get back on "programme". I really do need to manage the stress re my job, and the prospect of finding a new one within 4 pay days.  Doable, but still stressful, unless the Eye of The Tiger adrenalin thing ignited - which currently it is not.

I will though get back to the gym this week.
