Pain, Pain, go away...

Trying to update this blog before I forget what I've done. LOL Sunday, my XT consisted of grocery shopping, and laundry. Why is it I can never finish the laundry?

Yesterday, I went out to the track at the high school. The track is not padded, it's an old track and did a number on my left knee. It is hurting, I can still walk but it's a bit stiff. It hurts in the back of the knee, the joint maybe? I don't know the technical terms, I just know where it hurts. I put some ice on it last night, and it was ok today. I felt the pain when I stopped wogging. I walked on the track, and tried to run on it but it was so hard. So I ran in the field, on the grass. that was wonderful!

I spent all day out in the field, somewhere in the middle of Marion county. it was HOT. I began to wonder how I am going to train in the heat because I HATE the heat. Then decided to get a long sleeve coolmax shirt to wear when I have to go sampling. I need something to keep me cool out there.

I think wearing my steel toe boots didn't help my knee either. It feels a lot better since I took the boots off. So I'm going to take today off, ice the knee, put some sport cream or something like that on it and hope it'll be ok tomorrow. Should I take some advil too? I took some last night, probably will take some tonight too.

I need to keep reminding myself that I can make it to Chicago. I went back and read my post from Saturday, and thought I sounded a bit cocky. did I?
I hate writing stuff like that because I always think I sound conceited. I've just made lemonade out of the lemons life has thrown my way. Not superwoman, just human.
