30 Oct Crossfit Update - Injury Recovery

Injured left knee/quad doing WOD last Thursday (lunges). The front, lower part of my knee hurt Friday/Sat/Sun and I was limping. Since it would not "go away", I started massaging my left quad (ouch) and there was a very tight/sore muscle near the thigh bone. Used ice, massage stick and vibrating massager. On Mon-Wed, my knee was achy and felt real tight. No acute pain, just discomfort. I continued with massage, keeping my knee elevated and ice/heat. Also, I did not do any exercise that affected my knees. Today is the first day my knee started feeling normal and I did Annie. I will continue to take it easy and then I will start on my 1/2 marathon training plan.
