The lesson was fun! And super easy... I thought it would be much harder than that. I was able to do everything except the sit-ups; my back spazzed out on those. The instructor is very nice and patient. I didn't have any trouble following the patterns. I have always wanted to take martial arts of some sorts. Favorite show is Alias, and I grew up watching my brothers' kung fu movies. I did enjoy it and think the classes would give me a lot of confidence, but I was worried about my knee the whole time.

Before I left for class, I was carrying my bike into the house. Stumbled on the steps slightly, and felt some discomfort in my left knee. It wasn't in the same location as my normal pain would be (which is totally gone now, by the way). Wore a knee brace during the class with no problems. Afterwards though when I'd walk or stand up my knee hurt. Like it couldn't hold me up. Wierd. I iced it up. Anti-inflammatories. Slept well. Then this morning there was the same pain. BUT, it disappeared during the warm shower. It is coming back now, but not as bad. Maybe the air conditioning is aggravating it?

Now I'm trying to figure out if I'm safe to ride with the group tomorrow morning... Any thoughts?
