On the Injured List

So, only one week into running and I hurt myself. :( I hurt my knee pretty bad and it sucks! I ran 4 days last week,, 3.5 miles each time. It was a little sore over the weekend, but on Sunday it was feeling ok. I hurt my foot last fall and I was able to tape it up and it made it feel 10x better. I was able to run with it just fine, so that's what I thought I'd do this time. Well, my tape job didn't do crap. I went out running Sunday night and my knee throbbed the entire time. I, like and idiot, kept on running, though. After I got back home I could barely walk it hurt so bad. :(

So, now I'm wearing a knee brace and taking it easy this week. I've been taking Lexi for walks at the park to stay active. I'm really hoping by Saturday or Sunday I'll be up for a short run. As luck would have it, too, I just sent in my registration fee last Friday for a 5k on Labor Day. I hope I'm still able to run it. There's another race two weeks after that I was hoping to do, too. I guess we'll just see what happens. My half marathon training has started out really well...

Lots of Love,
