Beat up

Between my sore right ankle and the excruciating pain in my left knee, I cannot walk and could not work today. I can barely get around on crutches, just enough to go to the bathroom.

I talked to Andy who made me realize that the pain is a muscle issue that is just part of my growing pains after years of being sedentary. He explained how muscles tear and rebuild themselves. I'm concentrating on eating a lot of protein and using ice, heat, and ibuprofen. I'm not sure when I'll be able to run again but I'm hopeful all will be well by next Saturday.

It's fun keeping up with the Shamrock Shuffle Facebook Page. From the new runners to the seasoned ones, everyone posting seems really excited. I am too!
