Grounded
I’ve been upping my training lately. We changed gyms to one that’s a mile from the house so we can go in the morning and eliminate our excuses. That way, our evenings are free to go to yoga twice a week. On the off crossfit mornings, we have been doing the Couch to 10K app, involving walking and running.
Apparently, my knees do not like running.
It started about a week ago. Slight pain in my right knee, not being able to squat past parallel, not being able to put my full weight on my leg.
Then it started hurting all the time. I was limping. So I made an appointment with my doctor, thinking I’d get a steroid pack and be ok.
Wrong. So very very wrong.
The doc took one look at my knee and referred me to a sports medicine specialist. As soon as possible. Because I have the Tough Mudder in Texas in two weeks.
For now, I’m grounded. No physical activity that will put strain on my knee because it might injure it further. I’m wearing a brace. And I didn’t even get any steroids!
I’m now awaiting the phone call getting me an appointment as soon as possible. And I’m trying not to eat my feelings.
