One Day at a TIme

Since my last post, I have seen a Sports Medicine Doctor, a couple of physical therapists and have visited Google search on numerous occasions to find out how to get better. I did discover from my visit to the doctor that the sharp pain I was feeling in my leg was a torn hamstring. So, with that diagnosis,  I took a month off from running outside and spent many very LONG moments running in the pool.  Running in the pool is not a very exciting activity.  It makes running on the treadmill seem like a party!!  I did have the opportunity to bond with all the older people that exercise in the pool.  And all the younger people at the pool just kept looking at me like "too bad she doesn't know how to swim.  I am now back running outside and when I am out of breath and my legs are tired, I remind myself how much better it is than running in place in five feet of water.  Oh, and a bit of advice...when you go to a specialist for an injury, it is best not to tell them that you are pretty sure what your problem is because you searched it on Google.  Doctors LOVE patients that diagnose themselves on Google...
