READ AT YOUR OWN RISK: CAN CAUSE SEVERE DEPRESSION or A STRONG DESIRE TO TELL THE WHINEY GIRL TO QUIT BLOGGING No run today. My knee is very sore and needing a break. After last nights run I stretched and sat in an ice bath for 15 min, I am in worse shape today than I have been the entire time. I am trying to do everything recommended but still no luck. I am going to try to get out tomorrow. I also have an appointment with a sports med doctor next week, due to the pressure from my hubby and co-workers. In other bad news, my massage girl is moving. I was planning on going back this week and called and no appointments left and Friday is her last day. Very, Very Sad. Short of a miracle tomorrow, I am also not going to run the Spectrum 10K. This is probably the biggest disapointment because it is my favorite race. I still have not signed up for the Salt Lake half. I am giving myself another week or two but if no significant improvement I will not be running that either. I keep telling myself it is more than racing and I would still run even if there was never another race. I also felt pangs of sadness, almost tears, when I saw so many runners out in our absolutely gorgeous weather today, knowing I could barely walk, let alone join them. Happy Running! Update: Took a nice long hot bath and stretched and massaged my legs. When I got out my knee felt so much better. Finished stretching and rolling my legs with the stick. Added on with some ab work and wimpy push ups. Threw out my Diet Coke. I decided it was time. I have a stash I need to get rid of, but I decided enough is enough. I am done! (Hold me to it!)
