Day 3 : Ice and Advil in Salem (Oregon)

Much to my dismay, I rolled into Salem last night tired and feeling pain in my knees. I've had some right knee issues on occasion in the past, mainly as a result of pushing myself too hard during training. Invariably though, if I back off a bit, use ice and Advil to control the inflammation, in a few days the pain will subside.

The next morning, I packed my gear and left town only to come to the unfortunate realization that my knees were in bad shape – especially my left one, which strangely enough I've never has the slightest problem with. I had no choice, I returned to Salem and checked into the Travel Lodge where I iced them and took a couple Advil. Hopefully, a day of rest will do the trick.
