Update on the knee and my 2015 running goals. I am not supposed to run until I am cleared March 5. Or should I say hopefully cleared. I can bike, swim, or use the elliptical at the gym. But no high impact stuff like running. Last night at the orthopedic clinic they took x-rays, gave me one of those painful corticosteroid shots in my knee, and told me I not only had arthritic knees but that I had meniscus damage in the right knee. I had felt as if there were a pebble behind my knee cap while I was running Wednesday. The doc said, yup, that was your meniscus damage making itself known. I woke up in the middle of the night Thursday in pain with a swollen knee. During the day Thursday, I had this internal conversation of how bad is this? Now, mind you, people who saw my knee Thursday said, um, that looks bad. So maybe I was slightly in denial... This feels like a setback and a slowdown on my health, wellness, fitness goals for 2015. And now I have to be patient until I see the doc again in March.
