Running for Your Life: On the Road Again

Call it a broken record. But I’m on the shelf again.

I had been hoping to be back on the road again (as per the title here). That is going to have to wait.

Hmm, running for your life. Well, in theory, yes. I have every intention of getting back on the road again.

Biking for Your Life? Or Elliptical for Your Life? Tennis for Your Life?

Nah, they don’t cut it.

I’m convincing myself – and my friends in physical therapy – that my latest setback –  running up to 29 minutes before my cranky left knee swelled with inflammation, then following that with a few days of rest, only to re-injure same by a slow jog home from the gym – is just that. A setback. What’s required, as M and K have so rightly pointed out, is for me to just f—king stay off the knee – i.e. NOT run on it – for at least a month.

Which is what I’m doing. With gritted teeth and a snarl.

Truth is, I’m not showing my best side on the shelf. That, too, I pledge to do something about.
