04/17 - Weightlifting and HIIT. My knee's feeling fully back to normal, but I don't want to put unnecessary stress on my joints, so I'll be cutting back on the cardio and doing more lifting (1+ hour, 3x a week) with HIIT.
04/18
04/19 - Weightlifting and HIIT.
04/20
04/21 This was the day that I realized that I had somehow pulled or overexercised both of my quads. I tried to run to my car in the rain, took two steps, and hobbled the rest, crying in pain. Over the next few days, I pulled at least one of my quads each day during regular daily activities. I've been icing and trying to keep myself from re-injuring my hurty thighs, but it's pretty frustrating to accept that it'll be a little while (days to weeks) until I can exercise at even a moderate intensity.
Moral of the story: DO NOT LIFT WEIGHTS AND DO HIIT ON THE SAME DAY. They told me not to; I ignored them; and I ****ed up my legs. Don't make my mistake.
