Training While Injured

Workout:  1.5 miles easy - don't judge until you read the post. By reading the title it is pretty safe to assume that I am injured.  I have had some crazy knee injury for almost 3 years now that doctors can't figure out what is going on.  It is extremely frustrating to deal with this.  Even more frustraing that I have spent hundreds of dollars on rehab that didn't do jack squat!   Okay, so I had been training hard core for  a Turkey Trot I am running down in Evansville, IN.  And by hard core I mean I found an advanced 5K training program that I pretty much followed to a T!!!  The only thing I didn't do was have my long run be 8-9 miles.  What??  It's a freaking 5K!!  So, I was doing awesome, feeling great, totally ready to go....and then it happened.  My knee started hurting.  Like really really bad:((  So, I did the smart thing and backed off.  I decided to rest my knee.   Now, when most people have an injury they can still "train".  Hop on the elliptical

It was nice to get out of the rain for a bit, and you can't really tell in this picture, but the view of the bay was gorgeous.  And a little bonus; we actually had cell service here! Seaquist Orchard.  If you ever visit this place in the fall get there early!!  Like, right when they open early.  And thankfully we did because within an hour it was packed.  Crowds flock here because there are actually activities to keep the kids entertained. Because my time is limited I will now fill your screen with just pictures.  After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, right???  So why bother with words at a
