Subject: Welp....that's that

Looks like my Tahoe IM is not going to happen.  I've been battling nagging knee pain while running for the last few months.  I went from a 175 mile month to 120 to 80 to figuring maybe I'd just have to walk a lot of the run.  Last week the doc didn't think anything was torn and diagnosed it as tendonitis. The plan was another week of rest, try to run today, and then see him tomorrow for a possible cortisone injection. 

I rode 60 yesterday with no problem and then 20 minutes into my run today, taking it slow but feeling good, I put my foot down and it was like I got shot in my knee.....took a hop step from the pain and then when I put my foot down my knee collapsed sideways.  I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that's bad.  It's about the size of a cantaloupe and completely locked up.

I've got a lot of good things going on in my life so this won't knock me down much, and it's really nothing compared to what others are forced to endure......but it's nice to be able to come on here and say.......... &(&(*%  $#%#@&!!!!!  Laughing

What's this about dirt?  I thought it was two beers and a nap.

Well fudge. That does not sound good but maybe it is not as bad as you think? Maybe? Or at least after you finish all the beer it won't be Sealed.

I appreciate it, really.....but if I did that now my knee would come apart....seriously.  I can't bear any weight on it....it's just not there structurally.

You, my friend ... discretion is the better part of valor. Well done.

^^^I'm with them^^^

Rub some dirt on it, drink some beer, then take a nap.

I'm still holding out hope for you that you can toe the line with the plan of walking the run.

Sorry to hear about your knee, LB.  Stuff happens as they say. 

After I tore my Achilles back in 2010, it gave me a lot of time to re-think how I was approaching my training and it actually turned out to be a big benefit in that regard.

Coming back from a serious injury also helped me to better appreciate the ability just to be out training and generating endorphins.

Life is short and you need to make sure you spend it on the right things. 

Enjoy your kids and heal quickly.

Mark
