I need to get myself re-motivated for my marathon run. In case you didn't hear, in September I fell (yes, I'm a klutz) and disclocated my knee, and scraped everything up. I was running down a hill and got to the side; you know, the drainage area that has concrete, not asphalt- and fell when there was a chuck of the concrete missing.
I went to my doctor, and besides having every test in the book, she told me no running/power walking for a month. Well, I waited and waited, and when I tried, my knee hurt so bad I only went around the block. And that was walking. So, I haven't tried to do anything since the middle of October.
My weight is suffering from this; I still have a metabolism but it's quietly slowing down. I can feel it in my jeans. Ugh. Part of me just wants to run and run and run; the other part of me is scared the minute I step wrong I blow my ACL and start over...and then I won't get the marathon thing in until I'm 30, and my goal's by 30.
The last part of me, as I listen to my husband snore, is that I'm just plain lazy and don't feel like it. I asked for a gym membership for Christmas from Bryon, but what I really need is that membership plus 3 months with a personal trainer. Someone to hold me accountable when I don't workout, but obviously my husband is oblivious to the situation.
