CJ

Just got the nicest reply ever from my CJ! It was thoughtful, written with effort and consideration, used lots of exclamation marks (although in a linguistically wrong way...) and both calmed me, and made me even more worried. He also spelled "reflect" as "refflect" - surely a typo???

These comments make me happy:

By the way - you've reached a good distance in running!

Good luck!!

We'll be in touch!

...but his part has me worried (although also happy as it's a positive one, really):

Now when you are 5 months post-op it is time to slowly return to normal activities; in other words, you can start trying different kinds of exercise like step-up, bodypump, aerobics and normal sports but with extra caution for contact sports such as football, basketball etc.

Are you kidding me? I don't trust it to walk up a hill and even that forces me to focus on how I'm walking. I don't know if this is psychological or physical, but...aah, I don't know.

I was supposed to run today, but decided to take one day rest and run tomorrow. I'll still have time this week to finish the programme, but I think I need one day, and either way, the knee is in no shape no take on 8K.

So schedule as follows: Thurs (run), Fri (strength+intervals), Sat (rest), Sun (run).
