And Annie ie out……….
Well my friends I have been told some pretty crappy news. I went to get a follow up on my knee and I am afraid I only made matters worse. Apparently I have a slight tear in my patella tendon which = no more running. I asked the doctor well what if I just took it easy, his response “if you don’t stay off of it for 6 weeks you will rupture your tendon and that means surgery…” As soon as he threw out the s word I was literally in tears, I have been training hard for this and it sucks. I know I haven’t been the best of blogging but that is because I was too tired from running!
I am upset and very sad that I won’t be making my first appearance in the boston marathon this year but there is always next year and always other marathons……What comes out of this is knowing I was 4.5 months in of training and I ran more than I ever had in my life. As soon as I get a clean bill of heath over the next couple of months I will be back out on the pavement working towards building the miles back up….
Mary - keep it up and run like hell, but also listen to your body and don’t ignore those pains!!!
