Hiya All,
It has been nearly three weeks since my last confession. Since the fun run I haven't been able to run (sore knees and Dr's orders) I have since had the final verdict... The sore knees come from knee caps that are in the wrong place causing bruising cartlege when loading.. hence the pain. So off to Physio I go.. they have taped up my kneecaps into the right position and given me a bunch of exercises to do 2/3 times per day to strengthen muscles around the knees to do the job of the tape. Good news is I can run again... just not cross country for a while. (good thing that season is now finished)
So while not running I went out on Stella for a ride and had a big stack resulting in a large gash to my leg which has taken a little while to heal. Never the less it is getting better now.. Stella is fine.. no damage and I even managed not to get blood on my shoes too.. Does this mean I am a cyclist now.. given that I have fallen off twice?
Also have done loads of swimming while not running... and got chatting to a dude at the pool who said I have a sinking bottom while swimming which is slowing my down.. I now have a peanut shaped floating thingo that stops my bottom sinking.. and forces me to switch on my core muscles and WOW what a difference..
I am going for my first run in 3 weeks today .... just a small slow one..3.7km... but so very excited... its going to hurt but I can't wait.
See you on the other side of the run... xxxxx

About time!!! I have been waiting ages for the next installment of Confessions.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you will be able to run again. I was worried about your knees, so it must be good to know what it finally is so that you can do what needs to be done.
I think a second stack on Stella definitely makes you a cyclist. When Lenny took on some tram tracks and lost, I think that's when he officially became a cyclist. It's kind of a rite of passage I guess. Being the exceptional cyclist I am, I haven't come off a bike since I was 10 and Mum put me in a bath of dettol, so I guess I'm not exactly in your exclusive 'real cyclist' casualties club yet.
I think your sinking bottom is hilarious. Forgive me for not taking it seriously, but some guy checking you out while you swim and then advising you that you have a sinking bottom would have to be the worst attempt at a pick up I've ever heard of! Now, I know, I'm sure he was a serious swimmer dude who wasn't trying to pick you up and was just trying to share a helpful observation, but that's not the way I'm going to spin it when I tell my girlfriends about Creepy Pool Guy and the Sinking Bottom pick up line! hehehe
I love you and have missed Confessions.
Keep them coming.
