Day 139 - New camera for an old knee


I got a new camera today, a Canon Rebel Xsi, which does everything except shine your shoes. No, wait, there's actually a button on here for that. The photo to the right is of the gears on my bike, which I'll be riding a lot later this week (click on it to blow it up to see the amazing detail this camera captures).

I went for a run today, and my knee felt pretty good right from the get-go. That's unusual, actually. It generally takes a few minutes of running to get it warmed up and feeling OK. Tonight though, it feels a bit stiff and sore. I also did some jumping after the running. That felt pretty good too, but maybe it was too much.

So tomorrow, it's more rest for the knee. Stretching the hamstring, quads, IT band, groin, etc. And foam-rolling too.

I'll leave you with a close-up pic of my dog's eye, which shows off the macro function of this camera (click on it to blow it up; you can actually count her eyelashes if you want to; of course, if you do want to do that, you're probably kind of a weirdo, but that's not the point here) (I had a better black and white photo, but for some reason, blogger won't let me upload it).
