On Tuesday I ran 9 but later that day I could tell that I 'tweaked' my left knee. On Wednesday it was painful during some of the forward kicks during Kickboxing class. It took me awhile to figure it out..... There were several different workout 'factors' in the past few days. 1) ran with new and different shoes on Saturday. 2) ran with new shoes that I love on Sunday - these are the same model as my current shoes. 3) In hydro training class on Monday I wore old running shoes in the pool because I wore out cheap water shoes in just three classes. 4) ran outside for the first time in 3 weeks in partial snow/ice conditions.
I decided that what hurt my knee was wearing running shoes in the hydro training class. There was significantly more stresses put on my legs wearing running shoes vs water shoes do to the much larger surface area of the running shoes. The resistance was much greater than before and I could feel the added stress on my knees during class during some of the exercises.
Well.... I ran outside again yesterday and didn't notice my knee very much while running and it is feeling better every day. Today it was just fine for a 4 mile run. I'm recovering very quickly from this minor knee injury. Thank goodness!

where do you do the hydro running class?
I go to the Woodbury LTF at 8:30am on Mondays. There are a bunch of classes at different clubs. That was the only one that was going to work for me. I am going to drop it for awhile to try different workouts on my own.... for the next three weeks or maybe longer.
