It's Hard to Keep an Old Runner Down

Well, I told Brady Thursday night after we did a work-out for our upcoming mini marathon that I was indeed injured to my dismay. A very hard thing for a determined runner to admit-even a somewhat retired one. At the NCAA Pre-Nationals CC meet on Saturday I coerced some advice from the ISU athletic trainers telling them I was an alum. Sounds like it might be tendinitis (my right knee). And of course the advice consisted of rest, ice and Advil...so I'm going to take a few days off and hope that Brady doesn't get too far ahead of me in training and that I can still do the race. Tonight I biked 10 with him instead of running like a good injured runner would do.
