Some excellent news this week. I had blood work drawn on Monday to test for at least 6 different things including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and lyme disease. \u00a0Thankfully, everything came back normal!! This is great news! And bad news, this really means that we have no idea why the knee swelled up in the first place. \u00a0The doc seems to think that it was bruised or tweaked. \u00a0Since the swelling had gone down considerably she wanted me to stop taking Aleve again and see what happens. \u00a0Fortunately, as of this writing the swelling seems to be pretty much gone!<\/p>\n

The doctor confirmed again that as long as my knee functioned in the range of motion, it was safe to bike. \u00a0I was feeling a little adventurous and decided on Thursday to ride my bike the 3.7 miles to work. \u00a0I had an evening function downtown and \u00a0knew that if I needed to I could bus or go home and get the car. \u00a0I actually felt good enough to ride around with Christy a bit totally up almost 13 miles for the day!<\/p>\n

Then I biked again on Friday only getting 8.5 miles but it actually felt really good. \u00a0When I biked on Saturday I didn’t feel any knee pain and actually felt good riding on the bike. \u00a0Saturday was another gorgeous day and I hit the Greenway, went to a meeting, became the mayor of Maria’s again, and biked to a staff vs student’s basketball game (to watch\/cheer).<\/p>\n

I didn’t do anything on Sunday except spending a lot of time outside doing landscaping work. \u00a0Not the most exciting thing in the world, but I got a lot done and the front of the house looks so much better (see picture).<\/p>\n

I’m thinking at this point that I might try running again this upcoming weekend, unless something feels off then I might wait a little longer!<\/p>\n

It felt so amazing to be out biking around!! The weather was perfect -shorts and a long-sleeved shirt!<\/p>\n

This week’s One Post<\/strong> is actually two very random and funny posts. \u00a0The first is about two running related lists<\/a> and the other two random race-related disasters<\/a>.<\/p>\n
