Did ya miss me?

I missed you guys. The past two weeks have been topsy turvy at best, but today I got back out in the garage and worked it GOOD! I worked up a great sweat too, haven't done that in a while either. Yesterday we uncovered the pool. That is a full body workout in itself. So far this week is going pretty good! I did go to the Sports Med doc today. He doesn't feel it's osteoarthritis, and we looked at the xrays. Looks like some kind of meniscus issues, and there is a little spur in my right one and narrowing in my left. The bones in there look all pointed and worn... SO, I am having an MRI on my left knee (it's the worst) and go from there. He said there in no point in PT right now since I am exercising it regularly anyways. I will keep you posted. He said worst case is getting them scoped and cleaned up. I just want to compete sometime this fall! Ok, onto the workout!
