Ma knees, ma poor knees.

Hey,

So I've kinda had wonky knees since Rome, funny little discomforts when my knees are bent, random little reminders of how shit my knee/knees eventually felt during the Rome run. Started looking into it today, (been running a lot less, much more walking) but today I think I've confirmed that it's not the end of the world but I think maybe I've managed to give myself runner's knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome, thank you Dr. Pribut) in both knees. :( / :)

I'm looking at this as a blessing in disguise. Gone are the days of running without considering what kind of effect it is having on my body. I used to stretch and warm up, stopped that, going to start that again now, also have a host of things that I've now found out I can do to help repair and also reduce the damage running can and will do.

I just felt that I'd like say that if anyone who reads this enjoys running at all, no matter if you run like a maniac or just casually on the weekend, check this website out, it seems to me to be about the best on the net:

So, no pictures, no videos tonight, just a little "hello, this is what's up with me" info.

So now that I've explained how I'm going to fix my knees I'm off to wreck my liver again. Go figure, I guess it's true life's about dying. In this case it's my liver, little bit by little bit.

I hope everybody had a pleasant weekend. :)

Later!

Dave
