I have lost 75 pounds!
Last week my knee started to hurt and then by Wednesday it was killing me. I was so worried because my junior year in high school I blew my knee out playing varsity basketball. I should say I destroyed my knee. Tore my ACL which is only 60% put back together, my MCL, broke my patella and some other things. My doctor called it a full house. He said by the time I turned 30 I would have to have a knee replacement. So with that being said, having my knee hurt has been so scary. Come to find out I have runner's knee. I think I was working to hard. I have gone running everyday this year except for Sundays. Lately running has be fun. Crazy, I never thought I would say that, but I love the way I feel after it. So I feel like my life is spinning out of control when I know I should take it easy and not run and rest my knee. It has been hard. I have worked so hard to get this weight off and I only have 25 more pounds to go. So with help from my brother Porter who is in PT school. I have iced my knee like crazy. I have taken it easy for four days and so today I rapped my knee up, put new arch supports in my shoes, and ran 2 miles on the tread mill. It felt great both my knee and running. Right now I'm icing it hoping and praying that my knee will be fine.
Wish me luck!
