For those of you who follow this, let me give you a quick update.
I was in Mexico last week so I didn't write. I ran. I just didn't write.
I have tendonitis something fierce right now in my bad knee (the one that I had ACL/Meniscus surgery on).
It doesn't really hurt when I run . .however I really pay for it when I am finished. Simple things like laying on the beach last week were so miserable I couldn't even sleep.
I am not going to run in the Des Moines Marathon next month. I am in my 19th or 20th week of training but I think I need to pull the plug for several reasons. I'll write about those reasons later.
Our dog of almost 16 years died a couple of days ago. My heart is very heavy and very sad and at this time even running doesn't help. When my heart hurts I usually run . . it isn't really helping this time. Or . . .when a run does help, my damn knee hurts when I am finished!
In the meantime .. I am going to rest my knee by working out at the Y and running short distances. I am going to wallow in my own self pity over our dog . .and when I am done wallowing . .I will put my big boy pants on and get back at it.
More later.
