Hello, friends —
I haven’t been running for five weeks now. I’ve been going to PT for like three weeks or so.
And, well, what I’m trying to say is, it’s really hard to go through all of this again. So, I’ve started a new blog.
Why a new blog?
Because I want to focus my time and energy on another subject that is near and dear to my heart: travel
What does this mean for this blog?
I won’t be posting as often here … but, you already knew that if you’re a frequent reader.
To be honest, writing about how I can’t run and how I am doing PT again makes me feel even worse. I started this running blog to share the highs and lows of running and training for long-distance races … but for someone who hasn’t been able to run knee pain free for more than two years, well, it just really hurts.
I’m not giving up on running.
You better believe that I am diligently doing all my PT exercises at home. You better believe I am not running until I am given the green light.
I’m just tired of writing about PT appointments. I’m just tired of people asking me how running is going, and me replying that I can’t run again.
Thank you all for your virtual support, well wishes, comments and IRL encouragement. I know I’m not the first person to go through a running injury. I just won’t be documenting it all as closely as I would have liked to. Right now, it just makes me feel worse about the whole situation.
If you want to see what I’m up to non-running-injury-wise, please follow along on otter travel more. I have two exciting trips coming up in the next few months: Colombia and New Zealand! It’ll make for a better, more up-beat time, then here for now 🙂
