Knee.
Shake Your Ass To This:
Diner - Martin Sexton
I'm not sure if you all know this, but running is a part of my mental stability. I need to run. I look forward to getting home and strapping on the shoes and getting out there. I'm not fast, or Kenyan, so I really don't care about times or even distances. I used to care about that, but now I just appreciate that I can be... out there.
I've torn a major ligament in my left knee twice, and had that same knee surgically repaired 3 times. Once was from a direct hip shot to the side of the knee during a soccer game in high school, and the second time was bungee jumping in Mexico. Yes, I was drunk (sorry Mom).
I saw the doctor early last week for some pain I've been experiencing for several weeks now. The last time I ran was the day before Halloween, and I dragged my leg behind me for the next 7 days after that. For me to be sidelined for nearly a month is unheard of, and is taking a toll on my sanity.
Yesterday was GOR-GEOUS here in northern Illinois. I took my bike out and was able to ride. Not as great as running, but a close 2nd. And, I got a flat tire. 20 minutes in. I walked the bike home, and put it back in the basement, in storage for the winter. Really karma, WTF did I ever do to you???
But, no knee pain today. I did a jig this morning, because I anticipated a sore knee, and a horrible day.
Here's my jig, to the above song:
