So as you have probably observed, I have been training to run/walk a ten mile race at the beginning of April. However, the past few weeks I have had really bad pain in my knees. Apparently you are not suppose to go from doing very little exercise to putting in 1-2 hours a day. I took a week off from the gym, swallowed some Advil, and excessively used ice packs but my darn knees are still yelling at me. I decided today to head back to the gym and see how they felt. I think I discovered the source of my pain! All those dreaded lunges, squats, and reclining sit-ups, yeah, I don't think I shall be doing much more of those in the future. Guess I'll have to find some new ways to work out the legs, ways which wont cause immobilizing pain!
I am still going to shoot to run the ten mile race and hopefully my knees wont bother me too much. I have discovered that it is good for me to set small goals for myself. It helps keep me positive and working towards a better me :) As long as I don't pass out in the middle of the race, I think I will be good!
I found this necklace on
etsy and I must say it is perfect for me!
