Hey Yall

I swear I am so frustrated I can't take it.   I literally want to scream ,  I got a horrible case of runners knee last week and my knee is swollen 3 times it's normal size.   I can barely walk forget about running.

I really had my heart set on doing that San Diego marathon in June, but my training schedule is so ******   first my jacked up spine and now my old ass knees. 

I CAN'T FREAKING TAKE ANYMORE.   DAMIT.   All I want to do is run and it's driving me crazy that I can't.  

WHY THE HELL CAN'T I RUN,  WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I spent 6 months teaching myself how to be a runner,  I could run for 2 hours straight indoors,  all I want to do is run exclusively outside so I can run a marathon but NOOOO.  

DAMIT !!!!!!!!!!!!   GETTING OLD SUCKS ASS

It always sucks when we can't do what we want to or feel that we should. Sometimes the small things cause us to focus on the whole...the knees could be keeping you from running outside because there's something GREATER for you to do! Inside marathon? Swim meet?

I have never heard of a indoor marathon.    I don't know how to swim but even if I did,  I want to run, run, I say Run.......

OOOOOOHHHHHHH girl I can SOOOOO relate!!!  I had bells palsy, my back went out and my knee blew up three times it's normal size too.....all in one month!!!  I'm heading into the orthopedic surgeons office.   I know boo.  My workout routine is so jacked at this point, I'm starting ALL over again!  Back to the beginning.  Makes me so sick.  The only saving grace here Lee, is that if others can bounce back so can you.   We read stories of athletes coming back after cancer, broken limbs, serious injury, you name it.   It may take more time and more dedication, but it can be done AND if anyone can....you can!

I hate getting old because this just sucks ass.  It is just one thing after the other and sometimes one thing on top of the other.

But you are right Glammy,  there are athletes who come back from the brink of many bad situations and do well and I don't know if that will be me, but there is no reason it can't be if my knee will allow me.

Sorry to hear you wanting to run so much and not getting there. But things come to those that wait.  And I've read you getting things done WHEN you did believe you would.  JUST MAKE IT WORK  I haven't never been able to do any of the exercises and the miles of walking because of having Fribromygia
 I haven't been able to do any are it will flare up and I'll be aching for weeks somethings months. WE KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS let the swell go down and work it girl work it.

This is so rough for you.  I know what its like to have a body in revolt and it sucks.    Big hugs.  You'll learn to take it from a different angle.  When the body objects, you find new ways to get your work out on. 

Since 03', I've had to learn how to be creative.  Often doing crap I do not care for because I can't do what I really want.  You'll learn to roll with a substitute plan when you're not at your physical best.  The only other option is to stay down.  Even my old ass is not old enough for that yet.    You will get back on your running.  It will be harder than you know it should be but you're not ready to sit life out so you'll do it.

I am the queen of working out,  I will always workout.   I just wanted to run a marathon and I honestly don't know if I will be physically able to do so and it makes me feel my age.   I hate that.
