So ...
No DDR so far this week. /: I wasn't feeling good in my groin and right knee on Friday, recovered enough to play hockey on Sunday, and managed to pull something in my left knee on Sunday. D'oh. Also been feeling little tweaks in the right knee off and on. Nothing super-nasty, just occasional flashes of "ow" that are enough to be annoying.
So I've been trying to take it easy on my knees this week. Mainlining glucosamine and chondroitin, and picked up some calcium/magnesium tablets. No DDR, which is knee-intensive, even if you're playing on your toes (which I do). I've been really busy the past couple days, so I actually haven't had much exercise at all. *looks embarrassed* This is totally not the time of the year for that either.
I grabbed my sledgehammer this evening and did about twenty minutes of shovelglove. That felt good. I tried to take it easy on my knees and did mostly OK with that. I really should make a point of doing shovelglove more often ... I need some upper-body work, and it beats going to the gym hands-down.
