the comeback

I've had a successful week of running this week. Of course, we have to keep in mind that the injury left me unable to do any running for several months, which mean "successful" is all relative.  In an effort to make sure I do not re injure myself I am taking it slow, but last night I did a solid 30 minutes on the treadmill!  Although my knee started to feel a little tight in the same spot, it eventually loosened up and I was able to run pain free.  I am going for another Ditda treatment next week. 

Here's to a injury free 2014!

The injury update

On August 21, 2013 I officially participated in my first team practice with my fellow Boreal members. On August 21, 2013 I pretty much kissed my running season for 2013 goodbye. Though I went through many treatments with an Athletic Therapist, then with a Physiotherapist my knee pain was refusing to get any better.  Finally in mid December I bit the bullet, made an appointment and drove to Ottawa and got my Ditda treatment. My knee has been feeling a lot better (although I do have to go for one or two more treatments). Unfortunately (warming: poor excuse coming) with the holidays I didn't have the opportunity to do any running. 

That being said, 'tis a new year, and with it renewed optimism and renewed hope that maybe this year I will break out of the 30 minute barrier for my 5k that has been plaguing me for far too long.

Onward and upward.

Here's to a stellar 2014 filled with new adventures and new personal bests.
