I hobbled around in pain for a few days, humiliated by my inability to walk quickly or negotiate stairs, but with time, I healed. I rested. I listened to my body. I saw doctors and learnt that it was not broken. They said the swelling was not normal, though, and that I need to see a specialist to have that looked at. Its not urgent for me, though. I saw my physio who cleared me of any ligament damage and said the residual pain was the result of bone bruising that could take a few months to settle. I was given the go ahead to start upping my kilometres once more.
So 48 hours later I was on the grass at centennial park, and I ran again the following Thursday and I ran AGAIN Saturday morning and my knee has never felt better! I'm very excited because this time next week I'll be in Jindabyne, having already completed 2 or 3 training runs and preparing to run up Australia's highest peak - Mount Kosciusko!
Conny is back here from Switzerland, so a group of us are going along with Sean William's Sweatsydney training camp to do some running as well as some catching up and chilling out. I cannot wait!
Check out our itinerary!
After an idyllic Sunday spent tandem biking around La Perouse and Little Bay, followed by my nephew's 2nd birthday party, I've just spent 2.5 hours in the kitchen preparing my food for the following week. On the menu are the following items:
- Hummus (my recipe)
- Salsa (my recipe)
- TONNES of crudites - snowpeas, capsicum, carrot, celery, cucumber
- A massive salad dressed in seeded mustard and lemon juice with lots of olives and cherry tomatoes
- 3 grilled fish fillets
- A huge batch of DELICIOUS spinach and chick pea soup
- 4 boiled eggs.
Om nom nom and bon appetit! :) Time to check in on my challengers! Xx
