So after having an excellent run yesterday, I awoke today to find that the back of my knee was sort of sore. It might be the place where the calf or the hamstring attaches to the joint. I do not know.
I do know, at least I am pretty sure, that I did not hurt it running yesterday. Sure, there was snow and a couple times were I almost fell, but there was no pain at all yesterday. I went running at 11 am, and there was no pain all day. When I was at work, there was no pain either.
Maybe during the night I somehow hyperextended the knee. Maybe I had some kind of crazy dream and was kicking my legs around. Who even knows? No log is kept of what happens when I sleep. Once I tried to get my cat Nacho to take notes of what happens at night, but she ended up falling alseep herself.
Anyway, I have been icing it, put some heat on it, have it compressed with a bandage, and am going to do nothing today. That should help it recover fast. Actually, right now, I am about ready to go get in the hot tub here at the hotel...that will DEFINATELY make a difference. It will improve my mood too.
So, there it is. The negativity has been released. Now recuperation can begin.

PT
Pullup pyramid, 30 seconds rest between sets. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, failed on 10th with 7 pullups. Waited one minute before doing another max set of 10. Total: 62. Not a bad workout. Only took about 7 minutes.
Planning on doing pushups and situps later...but for now...
HOT TUB!

Nice work.
Enjoy the tub. Take care of that knee.
Have you ever seen Howard the Duck?
I'm watching it right now. It was created by George Lucus. Isn't he the same guy that did Star Wars?
DOMS. Kind of the same principle here. Delayed onset muscle soreness. After lifting weights, or doing a resistance workout, it takes 24-48 hours for the worst pain to set in. That's why stretching is so important to stay the effects.
With respect to tendons and ligaments, it sometimes takes awhile for them to show signs of soreness.
