I'm sure in time your knee will heal. And you will be able to run your best. I do believe in God's healing power so let me pray for you: Lord I pray that you heal Jaymie's knee and bless her with more PRs in the future. I pray that you would always aid her during her recovery. This we ask in Jesus' mighty name. amen. I know what you feel. I’m sure in time your knee will heal. And you will be able to run your best.

It'll be frustrating and again even more frustrating as days pass by without a workout and without a run. You will even hate people that you see running around while you are stuck on your bike doing your cardio workout. Tears will start to form when you see your gear shiny and clean. And you will surely cry when you take that first few steps and strides. not from happiness but from the pain it will cause. Again, you have to take it slow and just be consistent with training. You will be back hitting the ayala alabang roads in no time. uyyyy!!!! beginner’s tri in alabang! :)

If it is too low it will put too much strain and hurt your knee even more. Have your gym instructors set it to the right height. At full extension your leg should only be slightly bent. Also please use light resistance and spin at 80 rpm. Strap on your feet and when you cycle try to maintain constant resistance. You pull and push with your leg. Most people just push down and they don't pull. You can ask your cyclist friends to give you tips. Remember light resistance. I hope you recover fast.

That was my total for the week. So it was 5 mins each time! Argh. My old doctor concluded I had a meniscus problem just by feeling my knee then said i should have arthroscopic surgery. My therapists now are quite surprised he didn't even do an MRI. Master Mon, 60 days! That's toooooooooooooooooooo long! Hay naku, I shall shift to swimming in the meantime. As for you, 48 ka na pala. Akala ko early 40s. Uuuy :) Joeupcm, it wasn’t even 20 mins. on the bike. That was my total for the week. So it was 5 mins each time! Argh.

But don't worry, you are still young. Usually at your age, the injury will take to heal for about 60 days. On the forty fifth day , you will notice that your knees is getting stronger. Iba kung 48 years old ka na like me. It seems the healing takes a year to heal. Parang sobrang bagal magrepair and i don't know if sometimes it stops repairing on a bad day. Then it resumes one week later. Jaymie, if the pain is more than week old , then you really have an injury. But don’t worry, you are still young.
