Well, an injury to my meniscus in January, I have finally been able to run with no pain.  I had finished the C25k last year, but I started the program again last week because of my injury and the way it gradually adds in difficulty.  The slow pace was a good option for my knee.

I have always lifted weights throughout my life and at some point in January, I obviously did something that injured my meniscus.  I am very stubborn and don't like doctors, so I just bought some knee sleeves, took some ibuprofen, and continued my workouts.

Well, after months of whining and complaining, my wife convinced me to go to the doctor.  I was very reluctant to make an appointment...and then it hit me!  An old high school friend is now a PT. So I called him up and asked his opinion.  He told me not to see a doctor because they would immediately send me for an MRI and it would cost a lot. Of course, that immediately got him on my side considering my opinion of many doctors.  He asked me to give him a few weeks and he could potentially get me to the same spot without all the expense. So I did.

Long story short, the guy knows what he is doing!  After two test exercises, he immediately diagnosed it and got started on rehab.  A few weeks later, and I am running with no pain.  I could get into all of the other things he did that just amazed me about his knowledge and the human body, but that's a longer story.

So with that being said, I am very excited to be running again, and also a little annoyed that I didn't seek his help sooner.  Hindsight is 20/20 though.

I am going to get myself back into 5k shape (shouldn't be a cardio issue, just muscle strength) and pick up where I left off.

Not much going on in this group. I plan on getting back into running starting this week.  My wife has signed us up for a color run so I guess that will be a good starting point.

I haven't run in awhile. I should start again, but the age-old excuse of "finding the time" is sometimes a very real thing. I can't give up time spent sleeping. :)

I can understand that!

By that I meant that I get about six hours as it is, not that I really really like to sleep or something.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
