Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
For a while yesterday I was thinking of maybe running today. But when I got home last night, and my knee started acting up again I decided to just ice it, take some ibuprofen and focu on getting a good nights sleep. I am more confident that this is not just a result of all the kneeling Monday night, but more residual soreness from my long run Sunday. It always takes a day or so for the real soreness to kick in when I train hard. And that's what this appears to be. Of course all the kneeling didn't help, probably stressed it a little more than I should have. Bottom line, I don't think there's any damage, just muscle soreness, and I should be good to go on Saturday.
After more consideration I have determined that it is just not feasible for me to go wholy hog for the 4 hour body diet. Not when I am the only one in the house doing it. But I can follow the core ideas: Low carbs, low fat, no sugars. And after my races I will probably get back to the general calorie counting. And I can change up some of my habits in the mean time. The biggest is breaking the diet soda habit. I am slowly working towards that. And in general we can focus on having more vegetables and less carbs at our meals in general as a good dietary ideal.
