Dealing with a set back
I write this blog post with a bag of peas on my knee. I have trained for 4 month now to run the 10K race for the Ottawa Race weekend this coming Saturday. I had shared some of my experience so far in a couple of blog posts, I challenge you to wear a bib in public and Who said running 10K was easy?
On one of my training runs last week, I must have done something, because since that run, my knee is killing me, and I don’t think it is a good idea to run the race. I had trained so hard, so long, and to not be able to run is very disappointing.
How to deal with the set back, a couple of options. Accept it and move on or Run the race no matter what. I have in my infinite wisdom decided to run the race and risk totally busting my knee. I just cant imagine not running the race.
Is that a good idea? I don’t know, but I am doing it. Thoughts?
go to a doctor!! repeat..go to a doctor.
make sure you get a diagnosis.
make sure you get the right treatment.
Im really sorry to hear about this set back.
There are lots of races in the future. Even races in the winter!!
Do take care.
If I got to a doctor, I know they will tell me not to run, I know that I should not run, that is the problem I guess.
It totally sucks.
Pain always goes away but the sense of achievement stays with you. You can always try and quit when you feel its too much, just don’t do any extreme activities until the race.
You never know your limit until you reach it
Good luck on Saturday!
