Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Doctor day.  Scheduled for an MRI.  Have to stay on crutches, no weighbearing allowed.  I have not been a good patient but I am being good now, sitting in a recliner and doing lots of ice so that hopefully the swelling goes down.  I hope it's just the swelling and infammation causing pain and that nothing is seriously torn.  I overdid it yesterday and paid this morning with a massively huge knee, thought it might explode.  Doing much better this eve, the lazy life is kinda boring.  Watching the news--Texas, Boston, all the tragedies--that nips feeling sorry for myself in the bud right away.

I've been behind on blogging and a good friend told me about what happened to you!! I'm so glad you are alright. I know it doesn't seem fair (I was just diagnosed with a stress fracture today and I was supposed to run Big Sur on Sunday), but you are right things could be much worse!

I hope you have a speedy recovery. Maybe we should start an injured runner blog or maybe just race each other on ellipticals. :)

Take care!

Be a good patient. It'll shorten up the time you have to live the lazy life...

Enjoy your lazy time (to the extent that you can, anyway). We're all hoping for a quick recovery and that you be putting in the miles soon, or at least doing that sweet pool running.

Nothing torn, nothing torn, nothing torn...

I've just caught up on things and I can't believe this. Thankfully, you survived:)

I doubt a juggernaut would break any of your bones, what with all the 30 milers before breakfast and fight club etc. You're one tough nut. I hope you're feeling ok and that everything mends quickly. Relax and look after yourself.
