| 138 | Oh, My Aching… | 2009-10-16 |
For more than a month now I have been dealing with a sore knee. I think the injury occurred while riding my single speed bicycle seated - rather than standing; but the cause of the injury is really not that important to me. I am concerned about running.
I miss running. When I first injured my knee I continued running and the pain grew worse. Finally, when I could hardly walk, I stopped. After ceasing pain filled exercise, I feel terrible. I love to run.
I am not a good runner nor a fast runner. I have no running ambitions. I do not particularly like running with other people and therefore hate the idea of running in a race. I really don’t want to be a better runner, if there is such a thing. I just like to run for the sake of running. I like to chase the pace of effortless motion, leaving my mind to wander endlessly.
But for now my knee hurts. I am sure if I am patient, it will heal. I am walking again without pain and am riding with ease. So I am mobile, I just miss running.
Happy running trails, soon!
