Heeeeelp! My knees wont let me be great!

I love running.  I have another half marathon coming up in LESS than two weeks. Sucks! Because my knees are still hurting. I have not run since my last half, The Mercedes Half.  Ugh😒😢😢😢.  This is a terrible feeling, having the motivation to run but lacking the ability.  But, my reality is between work and running, my knees are taking a severe pounding.  Yes! I could also stand to lose a few pound.  I bought a new pair of sneakers (Brooks Ghost) that I haven't warn except to go for a practice walk.  I don't really like the shoe will prob take them back and get the New Balance. Siiigh.... I will soon go see an orthopedist.  I really doubt want to hear any bad news.  But this is my running woe! Get your run on.
P..S.  I also won a great pair of compression socks that I can not wait to run in.  I just wear them around the house. Sad! Just sad!
Anyone else got the run blues?

   I made it to the CNN Tower to pick up my bib for the GA Publix half Marathon. I limped all the way there.  I did ask about deferring but the answer was no.😭😭😭😭.  My left knee is ruining my life!!  After I picked up my bib and tee, I had to put my foot up on a garbage can and chill!   I love my Saucony sneakers but...😢😢😢.God willing I will get to do it next year.  The good news is I got to drop Mrs. Ruby off for her 1st marathon.

Hello Ladies and Gents,        I am doing something that I love and that I find relaxing.  What's that you say? Are you writing about running? Yes, of course I am.  That's another of my  faves.  I'm sure you will love this blog! We will chat and I will be sharing so much information.  Some may ask where is this coming from. Well! I like to think I've always been creative and a little funny😂.  But as confirmation, a nursing instructor said something to me that has stayed with me for many years.  She said, "You're a great writer, if nursing doesn't work out for you, you have a back up". I was a little perturbed at first and I thought what is she trying to say? Lol.  But, I let it go because I thought I do love writing and she's right, I am good at it.  That's not over confident that's self assurance. If I don't believe in me then who will?

Physical Therapy was Great!! Save 💰

Image
         After complaining for about a month and walking like Quasimoto, I finally took my behind to physical therapy.  I'm thoroughly happy with the outcome. I freakin' ecstatic!!!  Good News. Good News!! Doc says there was no sign of a meniscus problem nor a mcl tear.  Its Norse of a structural problem.  He stated that because I run long distance my hips don't want to. Lol. They tighten up and therefore puts alot of pressure on the knee.  I got a massage to remove some of the swelling. He said there was a significant amount of swelling in there.  After the massage, I did some really light exercises and was free to go.      Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome and glad I chose PT rather than going to the orthopedist. I saved a crap load of 💰.  Why? You ask.  Well an ortho probably would have run a lot of tests then come to the same conclusion as the PT. So, for now I will work on strengthening ...
