My leg is still not okay from an injury from many weeks ago. I’ve been religious with physio and was really hoping to be more improved by now. Much frustration.
I’ve kept my jogs no longer than 5-6 km and slow, and mostly have no actual pain during the runs (just afterwards and when trying to get back to any other exercise with the leg), but I’ve noticed my knees try to collapse on me now! I don’t think this has been a problem before, as it’s been an odd feeling to suddenly have my knees touch while running?! Now I’m a bit nervous to do even the short jogs, in case a rubbish form will cause other problems. Thankfully I’m going back to the physio this week.
Having said all that. We have a very windy autumn day here, with wet leaves blowing everywhere, gusts that try to knock you over, and branches and broken umbrellas littering the streets. I felt weirdly alive out in the stormy darkness, like it was the best weather ever to run slowly struggle forward in to start my day!
Uncomplaint: Physio is happy with my leg, and I’m free to ignore my remaining aches (I’m very stiff) and get back to doing all my normal stuff and proper runs, with small caveats and more physio exercises.
Confession: The extra physio stuff sounds so easy, but feels so hard! My ass and hips are weaklings!
Complaint: My gym’s treadmills automatically stop after an hour as a default. I nearly fell and stepped weird when I wasn’t paying attention and it suddenly stopped on me. Such a minor but annoying chore to have to fully stop the workout and start again. (I’m not hogging it during a busy time - there were plenty of free treadmills!)
