Accident Waiting To Happen

                                      Hey, blogettes! Yep, that phrase best describes me right now as I am still recovering from my cross country injury in an ugly and outfit restricting knee brace, which is at least until Christmas break and it could be longer because I didn't rest and do easy runs. I went all out. You just don't tell a cross country runner to take it easy because they worked hard to get where they are at and asking them to rest means losing all of that progress. I wasn't going to let that happen. I wanted to have a good season next year so I didn't let this injury stop me. I did workouts until my knee and lower leg throbbed with pain causing me to walk with a limp the next few days. The doctor already said that I would need some support on that leg anytime I ran anymore, which stinks. I want to be free so badly, because these braces kind of restrict movement so I don't know how they want me to run with them. Most doctors aren't runners so they don't know what we are going through and what they say does to our goals and progress and workout plans.
                                      I also have a serious concussion which I got on Wednesday night at church during a game. I fell earlier in the day during a game of knockout and also took a brutal hit to the head then, and I had a mild concussion so this blow didn't help. The limits that a serious concussion has lasts for at least a month but the symptoms can last anywhere from two months to six months. I hope that isn't the case because there is no way that I can take feeling like crap on top and mixed in with the other things that I have going on for six months. None. Oh well, the price you pay for being foolish sometimes gets you in a pickle that stinks. It gets you injured, and unable to do some things because you can't focus or you can't handle it. It also stinks because I have to put limits on things when I am supposed to be doing off season training for track and cross country. The doctor said that I should do sprints in track instead of distance because track is hard on the shins and I already have a shin issue on the one leg that is so painful somedays that I can barely walk and that is no joke. I walk with a limp sometimes that people laugh at or talk about. Sometimes they are just talking about me period and sometimes I am even in the same room as them. I must be invisible or they must have really good guts to pull something like that.
                                     Anyways, that is just an update of what I am going through right now.
