I am currently trying to work out a bout of sciatic nerve pain in my left leg. I am not going to run today, but if I'm feeling it tomorrow, I will try it. I injured myself last year (I don't know exactly what I did, because I did not go to the doctor) but it felt to me like a ligament or tendon strain in my left knee. The pain was not in the actual joint, and it wasn't even all that bad of pain. It was more like something was wanting to slip out of place. It's really hard to explain.
I did resort to wearing KT Tape on my knee - I watched their YouTube video that demonstrated applying it for knee pain and it really helped! I thought taking a lot of time off over the winter would heal whatever was wrong, but it still flares up.
So I'm limiting myself to 3 miles and no more. I feel like I hurt myself by increasing my mileage to quickly and at the same time I was trying to increase my speed. That wasn't a good idea for me.
I need to come to the realization that I'm not a spring chicken anymore. ;)
Tonight we are going to go to Zoo Brew, an event the Blank Park Zoo hold every Wednesday in June, July, and August. It's a 21 and older event when you can drink alcohol and visit the zoo animals. We went last year and had fun. I'm hoping for good weather, and that it's not too hot!
Happy Wednesday!
