Well, I still haven't gotten into the regular habit of writing in my blog, but hopefully soon. In the meantime, I have needing to get all of my triabetes info together, from ordering the kits, to the wetsuit, to a local event that i am planning on june 5, as well as june 12. Sometimes it's hard to keep all of the steps required for each event/task organized, unless a specific time each day is devoted to it.
On a different note, my knee hurts. This is the first time that I've actually not run for 3 consecutive days specifically because my knee hurts. I'm icing it, and swimming one-legged. I probably should go to the doctor, but I don't even know if Kaiser has a sports doctor, or who I would see. It's a little hard, as I really want to run, and I have a 1/2 marathon this coming Sunday. I am really trying to be responsible about it, and have not run at all. But it's hard to stick with something like that when you don't know 100% that that will solve it. I also don't know what a doctor would do besides an x-ray, and then I'm not sure I'd want the results of it.
So, I will try to call them and see what I can arrange. In the meantime, it's made me appreciate all the arm strength required in swimming when you are not using 1 leg. Maybe I can bike? i'm not sure. For now, I'm icing it a LOT.
More soon.
I hope your knee issue is nothing serious. What kind of pain is it?
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about how hard it is to just stop running when you don't know if rest will help.
And I'd be reluctant to talk to a doctor a few days before a race, because you're almost certain to be advised not to run.
Good luck.
hi jerry,
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment. it's nice to know people are reading this.
i think it was tissue damage. and now it feels better. but i have an xray that is an optin, and i'm not sure whether it's worth getting.
how are things going for you?
