LazyDaisy 21 Aug 5:57pm, 21 Aug 2024 40,609 posts	0 LazyDaisy I'm afraid I'm a DNS for tonight's race. It's very chilly, very windy, I don't feel like it and there's a big water leak uphill from us so apparently we won't have any water til later this evening so no post-race shower. What other excuses can I come up with
Mandymoo 21 Aug 6:27pm, 21 Aug 2024 19,618 posts	0 Mandymoo You don't need an excuse Daisy Rightly or wrongly I did go for my appointment, wore a mask, kept away from everyone and used hand sanitiser Basically my knee is wear and tear, my kneecap is slightly tilted and a few other bits. I can have n operation but it's not guaranteed to make it better and could make it worse. We are going with strengthening exercises for now, go back in 8 weeks and can have another jab if needed. We did discuss running, and it's pretty much off the cards due to the knee damage - maybe on a treadmill or soft ground but minimal. Her words were I think your running days may be over. She did know what she was talking about as is going through the same thing herself
Lip Gloss 21 Aug 6:41pm, 21 Aug 2024 77,163 posts	0 Lip Gloss Oh that’s not good news but understandable you don’t want to risk further damage by keeping on running. Least you know and hopefully the exercises give you some relief. 😢.

Lip Gloss 21 Aug 7:28pm, 21 Aug 2024 77,165 posts	0 Lip Gloss LD, these are valid points not excuses. We run for fun supposedly.

LazyDaisy 22 Aug 8:18am, 22 Aug 2024 40,611 posts	0 LazyDaisy Morning! Sorry to hear that opinion from the doc, Mandy. LG be careful - and patient! PT session this morning. No danger of wimping out from that!
