Oh my aching knee :(

So this past weekend I had a sprint tri on Saturday and then Sunday our coach had us do a 35 mile bike ride. That bike ride sucked soooooo bad and I normally love being out on my bike. We did this same route last weekend too. The last 10 miles were shear hell. I actually stopped after 29 miles and just pulled over to the sidewalk for a bit to stretch my legs and have a little break. Ughh, I didn't want to forge ahead, but I was already behind my group because I was just out for an endurance ride, not a speedy ride. Avg speed was around 15.5 mph
So monday morning I get up and my left knee is just aching. I don't normally have knee trouble, but it was really bothering me to bend it. I just get all kind of foot issues (orthotics did wonders for my feet). So yesterday was a bit depressing because I was hoping to get a run in. Today is just as depressing because it is still aching :( I called my sports med dr and he told me to just ice it for a couple days and come on in if it is still misbehaving after that.
So I think tonight my plan will be a nice swim in the super chlorinated gym pool and some upper body weights. I start week 2 of the one-hundred push-ups tonight. I still do them girly style, but I can manage about 5 "real" ones.
My diet has been okay for the past few days. My calories have pretty much been in range, but the quality of food, not as good as I'd like.
Tomorrow my precious little road bike gets dropped off to get shipped to Chicago for my upcoming race. Very excited, but mildly concerned because of my knee. This was to be my last real training week before I cut back for the race. Oh well, time will tell I guess.
Rough a$$ day at work today, just too many things too deal with and it makes putting myself first very difficult. Also tomorrow is my daughters orientation for school, I will probably be in tears! My baby is starting pre-school. We got all her school supplies and uniforms and she is ready to go. Every day she asks if she is going to school, how long is that gonna last, hehe!
