Explanation

I feel like I owe yall an explanation for why I haven't been posting lately.

I hurt my knee pretty badly two weeks ago. I tried to tough it out, but I really, really struggled with it. I honestly was scared that I had torn something in my knee because it lacked stability when walking. It kind of felt like Willis McGahee's knee after this hit...



Well, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration...

Anyway, I went to the doctor this week. I was very, very nervous that he was going to tell me that I needed some sort of surgery. Frankly, I was a bit depressed by the notion; however, his diagnosis wasn't nearly as bad as my neurotic mind had dreamed of. Essentially, he told me that I upped my level of training too quickly and my knee was just massively inflamed. His recommendation was 2-3 weeks of physical therapy until I can resume running.

Yah, so my dream of running the marathon on May 19th is over, but I am not giving up my quest.

As my friend Kunu would say...

I'm going to figure this thing out. Just got to let the knee heal up first...
