Back from my "mancation."
Jul 14, 2007
I just got back from my "mancation" with all my buddies in Montana. I had been running and getting in shape and I decided to push it while hiking in Glacier National Park. My friend and I hiked 18 miles with elevation change of 5,000 feet!!! I had plenty of energy, but my knee gave out about half through the hike. I have never had knee problems and basically I couldn’t raise or lower my knee without intense pain. It didn’t hurt to put weight on it; just the outside of my right leg (parallel to the knee) is where the pain was. My guess is that the tendons or ligaments became inflamed from being too loose after my weight loss. It doesn’t hurt unless I go up and down stairs.
Anyway, the great part was the trip out and back. On the plane I was able to sit comfortably in my seat AND put down my tray to set my drink on!!! How cool is that??
And, I went to a cookout where they had those plastic lawn chairs and I was able to sit in those without the fear of breaking one.
