Bad Practice, Good Practice

As a few of you know, I had surgery this fall on my right knee. I had a piece of my lateral meniscus removed (Cartilage). It was an extremely long rehab and I only started training in January (usually start in October). Even with the lack of a good fall of training, I came out with a bang. I opened my season with 81.53m (267'). However, I reagrivated my right groin. This took me about two weeks to start feeling better from and BINGO! I had chipped a piece of cartilage off of my femur (right behind my knee cap). Needless to say, it hurt.

This is where I get to my bad practice. My first thrwoing session went well when I arrived in Singapore. I threw 74m (240') from a short approach. Which is a good practice throw for me. Then the BAD practice happened. I felt good through my easy throws, but the second I brought a little more speed down the runway, my knee really hurt. I finished the practice with a best of 70m (NOT SO GOOD). My next throwing session isn't until the 18th. So I will post about that later.

Now the good practice happend today! I think because I had all my streching ropes, rehab equipement and a clean pair of underwear on. It was my last heavy lift and I was worried that my knee wouldn't let me do it. I talked to my knee and it said "Go ahead, have a good day, I'll let ya this time." I truly believe my knee has a life of its own this year. Some day sgreat others terrible. Basically, I got through my lif twith little to no pain.

Hears what it looked like.
