And here we go...

Let me start off my telling you what happend last week.. I hurt my knee.. Just streched the ligaments a bit.. Not so bad that I cannot walk.. But enough to limp around.. RICE and epson salt was what my trainer and the doctor orderd.. NO BIG DEAL.

Lets fast forward to yesterday.. I was getting off the bus to get to school and I fell off the bus and landed you guessed it right on my knee that hurt.. I thought I was going to die.. The pain was bad... Not ouch I fell on my patella it was holy hannah I broke something... I limped into the school and an ambulance was called and then happy drugs were inserted into me!! Got some x-rays and the doctor said it was a fracture.. Just a samll one not to big or to bad!!! I was relevied.

This injury got me thinking though... I sometimes take running and even using my legs forgranted. When I want a glass of water or lets say a nice cold glass of wine (haha) I can go and get it. I dont think about walking.. I just do it.

As many of you know I have a trainer. Nice guy but I give him a hard time.. I am really stubborn!! This got me thinking not to give him a hard time and listen to what he says. And not to take for granted that I can have a trainer and run.

Just a few thoughts on life

Peace out

I am a runner

I am a runner.. And I have asthma.. It sucks!!! You cannot do what you want to do in a workout and sometimes  you cannot do a workout at all...Now I do not know about you but I have a very strong type A personality and to not be able to accomplish what I want to is the most annoying thing for me...I could dwell on the fact that I have asthma and it sucks or I could do my best and try. I choose to try because I do not want any regrets in life... I want to say I have done this... I start with a new trainer hopefully this week, as my old trainer went on vacation.. I am a little nervous because I met this person twice... But I am going to work hard with Rich (that's the trainers name) and hopefully be able to run a half-marathon before I have to run a half marathon... Well I need to study... Midterm today...

Peace out peeps
