Wants and Knees

Sometimes things just keep going wrong. After I got out of the hospital (I promise a post is coming on that) I needed to get back running. The Miami marathon was just two weeks away and I really, really wanted to run in it. So, on my first run out of the hospital I invited Lucy to come along to ensure that I’d “take it easy”. After a mile an a half I decided to run some sprints to work on the speed a bit. During one of the sprints my right knee didn’t feel right. It was sore on the way home and stayed sore for the next few days. I gave it a weeks rest and I was back in the gym for some treadmill work. Almost two miles into the run my knee started hurting again. I finished out the mile and tried to walk it out. It started to hurt even more. I got off of the treadmill and limped back to my car. That was a week ago. My knee is extremely tender right now and I had to miss the Miami marathon because of it. I’m probably going to miss the Palmetto Bay 15K and the 5K Walk for Life because of it. *sigh* I’ve seen one doctor about it and he said it would be fine “in a couple of weeks” but I’m not buying it. I’m going to see another doctor next week and hopefully he’ll send me to see a specialist. I just want the knee to heal so I can get out there again. This is frustrating!
