As the post title suggests, it was only a matter of time before I had my first setback. Though, luckily only a small setback. While doing my 30/30 workout on Thurday night I felt a slight twinge in my right knee. I've been used to knee pains and discomfort for many years as I was diagnosed, at an early age, with Osgood-Schlatter disease. That night, I only really felt anything if I stepped just right. However, on Friday morning I could feel it on almost every step. I took it easy during the day Friday but then went to Dick's Sporting Goods last night to get a "knee wrap". As soon as I put it on, I could immediately tell that it was doing it's job. I wore it for several hours last night as we went to dinner with some friends.
Even though I could tell the knee support was doing it's job, I decided I needed to take a break after 9 straight days of doing 30/30. Plus, I knew I would be doing a lot of walking today at an aviation seminar out at Huntsville Internation Airport. So, I decided to take Friday and Saturday off from 30/30. Disapointing? Yes!! But, I'd rather take 2 days off and then pick up where I left off, than to keep going and be out for several weeks. I wore the knee support all day today, and tonight I can't feel any sign of pain or discomfort. That, even after doing plenty of walking (even more than I thought I would). Maybe it's becuase of being able to go up for a few minutes in a nice airplane. Oh, I need to get back in the cockpit!!!!
So, tomorrow I plan on getting back to 30/30. I'll take it easy and listen to what my body is telling me and not over do it. I know I haven't been at this too long now, but it's a nice feeling to feel like something is missing after missing a day or two. I guess that's a good sign.
Till next time....Take Care!!!!

Hope the knees feeling better - It sucks when you get an injury. I've just had a couple of weeks of slowing down because of my ankle.
Keep up the good work :-D
