Ice is not good for the knee...

....at least it's not when you go ice skating and fall and hit the ice knee first....

I was on the ice for all of 5 minutes doing some pretty darn good looking crossovers...then i accidentally stick my toe pick in the ice and go sprawling all over the ice...coming down fairly hard on my right knee and hip. apparently my fall looked bad because my coach was impressed that i got up under my own power, took a few minutes to recover and then went back into my routine. yes, my knee aches. yes, my arm and hip ache (they wil be bruised)...but that was the first time my coach suggested i go home and rest. i got hom, put ice on it, and was fine.

well today...i work all day and decide to try to go out and see how the knee does. i definitely couldnt run comfortably on it and walking was not fun either. i went about half a mile, ran into a friend of mine, stopped to chat for a while, and decided to head on home. i still ache on my right side but it doesnt feel like permanent or injury damage. just a hard fall. happens all the time...

but if i cant run tomorrow then i know there is an issue...

going to grab some more aspirin...
