Someone (Tom Slick) wants me to come back to the "fast running" blog - which at the moment, I'm neither. I found a new passion this summer when I purchased a 29" Trek Mamba Mountain Bike. I enjoyed riding through the woods, occasionally falling over or whacking a tree. I went home with "war wounds" on several occasions. Nothing serious - until I tried racing one night in November. Within a few laps of the half-mile, lighted circuit, I took a corner a little too tight and ended up on the ground. It didn't seem like a major incident. But, when I got up, my knee felt awful. I must have twisted it. Here it is 4 weeks later, and I haven't ridden or run since. I'm able to walk and work in the yard - for which I'm very thankful. But, the knee is stiff, and I want to rest it as much as possible before I go out and try adding too much stress. I haven't gone to a doctor, yet. I know that I wouldn't like to hear the news, and I'm still hoping it heals on its own. I'm going to try running a little tomorrow morning to see how it goes.
Since my accident, I've been catching up on work around the house - it's amazing what you can do when you don't have to run 20 milers! I've been taking my boys to soccer games, Christmas shopping, and enjoying being just a little lazy. :)
I will check in tomorrow after I try my run, and give the news (good or bad). If it's bad, I may consider seeing a doctor - but probably after Christmas! | |
