I’m a little disappointed, but I knew this might happen. I went out this morning hoping to do 4 miles, but also listened to my body (especially my left knee). I started to feel some discomfort in my knee and decided to quit while I was ahead. I don’t want this knee issue to come back since last Sunday I pushed myself a little too hard and found it to be sore the next day. I want to be able to run for life and be strong.
Through strength training, I’ve been able to run pain-free and soreness free for a few weeks (short runs). I want to keep this up, so a virtual race isn’t worth it to damage my knee again. I’m proud of all those who are doing it though!
Running 8 miles isn’t going to happen for me today, but cycling 8 miles tomorrow will… so it’ll be my 8 on the 9th! Atleast I’m attempting something to get in there [even if I'm riding to the farm].
My knees still feel stronger then they ever have, but I’m going to just do my 2 mile runs this week and next to get back into shape. It’ll take time, but if I’m careful and pay more attention this time around, I won’t be sidelined for another 6 months to a year!
