It's been tough doing what my physical therapist wants me to do. Here I am considering a career choice telling people how to get, be, stay healthy - telling people what exercises, stretches, etc to do - and I seem to be struggling to follow my own physical therapists advice. I guess one day I can truly be empathetic to my own clients/patients when they don't want to do what I tell them, right?
I am supposed to be slowly building back up to running. On Saturday I had had enough. I was determined to just see how far I could push it and ... well ... I'm afraid I may have pushed too hard. I ran, not until I hurt, I'm not THAT stupid! But I ran until my knee felt tight. I felt great for like an hour or so after the run. Went up and down stairs, walked all around - no issues! Then suddenly I went to go downstairs again and OMG! Agony! Needless to say, I was pretty bummed the rest of the day. I thought I had really screwed up my knee. Could see my dreams of being a runner drifting away.
So maybe I was a bit being a bit over dramatic. By Sunday my knee was much better and by Monday, practically good as new.
So back to my physical therapists orders - taking it slow again.
Sorry Rach - no 5K for me in June. Maybe July.

Awesome Blossom,
Sorry to hear about the knee. It's hard to take it slow. Do you wear a knee brace for support?
Hope things go better for you this week. I'm sure you'll be doing a 5K in no time. Take care of that knee!
Love ya!
Oh, sorry, A is actually MJ. Looks like AJ was signed into blogger and I didn't realize it :)
