Budge up and make a space..It’s IC time for me ☹️

[Mummycav]

Hello my lovely running friends...long time since I posted...I hope you are all doing well, I am still here, as you know, answering posts, reading all your posts and generally lurking...

For the last 2-3 weeks my right knee has been aching at the back, not during a run but afterwards, infact the only time it hasn’t ached or hurt is when I’m running, so I’ve just carried on and pretended nothing’s really happening...oh ohhhhh..not a good idea...I ran on Tuesday, that was ok, no different to any other run lately so that made yesterday a rest day but I really wanted to run...really really wanted to run, just a short one..so I set off, about 6pm over to the park and decided I’d just do Laura’s speed podcast...I headed across to the park to warm up but when I got on the path where the loose stones are my left foot slipped on a stone which meant my achy right knee had to save me from falling which it did, but only just, the pain at the back of my knee was horrendous, especially on the outside...I couldn’t put any weight on it at first, I started limping and trying to shake away the pain but my knee was having none of it...I sat on the wall and tried to massage away the pain which worked a little bit..I stood up again and limped home, tried a little run on it but could not manage it...however much I had pretended nothing was wrong my knee was telling me there was...so when I got home I messaged my physio friend who asked a few questions and said that it sounds like my cartilage is stressed due to trying to protect the knee while I’ve been running so this was inevitable! So it’s ice and ibuprofen for me until next week...not a happy bunny, I can’t imagine not running for a whole week but I suppose it could’ve been worse if my knee hadn’t brought me to an abrupt halt yesterday!

Stay safe everyone and if you have a niggle or a pain, take an extra rest day and don’t ignore it....don’t be like me!!! 😫🙄

[roseabi]

Ohhhh that sounds so painful 😥 Rest well, superhero! You'll be back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

Thank you roseabi ..I’m really fed up...it’s feeling very tender but at least I can walk on it, I have to keep it moving so it doesn’t seize up so it’s just dog walks for me for now ☹️ X

[EThomas Graduate10]

Sorry to hear about your knee. Hope it gets better soon.

[Banana12 Graduate10]

Aw that’s an awful shame Mummycav. You take care of you and we look forward to hearing your next happier instalment when you are fit as a flea again. Hopefully soonest when safe to do so.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Banana12]

Hmm, I’m feeling very fed up but like you say, I will be back soon...fingers crossed 🤞🏻 thank you

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10]

Oooh, not where you want to be Mummycav😑😚

Hopefully you won't be here too long, I hope it feels better very soon with rest and ice. Hug from me, go gently on those dog walks. Good to have a friend who is a physio. 🌹🌻💐🌺xxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

No, not at all Bluebirdrunner ...I’m completely fed up...I hope I’m not here long either, we’ll have to see how it feels in a few days, blummin knees!!?! I will be sticking to the flat as hills hurt and going down the stairs this morning is a bit wobbly! My right leg is so strong but unfortunately the knee has a weak spot..thank you for your lovely hug 🤗😘❤️ xxx

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

You can squidge up next to me...I'm quite near the end now so we will soon both be jumping off and into our runners....

In the meantime rest and stay strong mentally...follow all the advice you have been given.😘xxx

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Oh no poor you, it is so easy to ignore niggles. Make sure you take plenty rest - dont run next week unless completely sorted otherwise you may be even longer in IC. take care 🤗

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

It is...but like everything else, brushing it under the carpet doesn’t work in the end! I will heed your advice thank you xx

[MikeJones68 Graduate10]

Oh, not good. Poor Bevlar

Fingers crossed for a quick recovery.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to MikeJones68]

Thanks MikeJones68 ...I’ve got everything crossed, this isn’t the best seat I’ve ever sat on..some good company on here though but still, I’d rather be outside dragging my sorry carcass round the streets!! 🤣 ☹️ x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

Hey Mummycav!! 👋🏽 So sorry to hear you’re on the IC!! 🤗

I have ignored a niggle before and eventually I had to give it a proper rest. Just think how great it will be to run without the post run ache!! 🤩

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a glorious ‘I’m back’ run 😃 the following week! 🤩❤️

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

Thank you Fabulous450 ..not the beat thing to do is it?! Ignorant determination is what I’ve been running with for the last couple of weeks, thinking that one more won’t hurt!! Silly me?! But I am a runner not a couch dweller so I won’t be here long...I will def post when I’m back out there x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

🤩🤩🤩! I look forward to it!! You’ll be absolutely amazing as always! 💥💥💥❤️

[Jell6 Graduate10]

Bad luck Mummycav Take as long as it takes!!!(stern voice)

Wishing you a swift recovery , I am sending positive thoughts, and these 💐💐💐

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Jell6]

Aww, thank you Jell6 ...I LOVE flowers, they’ve made me smile! I have heard your stern words and will listen and be patient x

[Jell6 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

😘😘

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Such a pity regarding your knee, so sorry about that, I just hope that you can get back to running in around a week, just go for a few short walks, hopefully it will heal soon.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you AlMorr , think this will feel like a long week but hopefully I will see the back of this awful aching

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

So sorry to hear that Mummycav- I hope you’re on the mend soon! But don’t rush it otherwise you know you’ll be lurking from the IC much longer than you want to be!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you Oldgirlruns , you’re right, heading out too soon will def make things last longer x

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Your post made me wince MC! Hope the knee responds well to treatment.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

Ooo, there was def some wincing involved JonathanP ...ibuprofen and a bit of tlc is doing the trick thank you

[Run46 Graduate10]

What are you like, running two days in a row on a dodgy leg! 😖 #runningaddict

Sorry you didn't get away with it and hope a week of rest does the job...fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Haha Run46 ...you know it!! Thank you for crossing everything for me, it’s def working for me xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10]

Just coz I’ve left a space on the couch doesn’t mean someone has to come along to fill it Mummycav.

I do hope your visit is a short one. Good luck.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Haha...I wondered why it was so warm Dexy5 !!! Hopefully I’ll be back to normal this time next week...baby steps x

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

Well I’m coming back to join you for a week or so - I seem to have tweaked my Achilles. Have been ignoring the signs but it’s not going away. What a roundabout this is.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Oh flip!! It certainly is...but you’ve done exactly what I did and ignored it, we both know that being in denial doesn’t work...we should just face it and rest...but, as running addicts, that’s not as easy as it sounds!!! Oh well, it’s not forever and I’m in good company xx

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to Mummycav]

😘

[SuzyKK]

So sorry to hear you're on the IC ~ but hopefully after a little rest, you'll be as right as rain xxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SuzyKK]

Thanks SuzyKK ...I’ve had a couple of little run/walks and I’m going to carry on with those for a week or so I think...gently does it x

[Irish-John Graduate10]

Best wishes for a full and complete recovery sweetheart ❤️

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Irish-John]

Thank you Irish-John ...your wishes are very sweet xx ❤️

[Hidden]

Mummycav, bless your buttons!

Hopefully it'll only be a week and you can get back out there. The rest all round may be helpful to refresh you. Even the Red Devils need a breather 🌈

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Haha thanks Hidden ...I didn’t quite last a week, I had a Little outing on Sunday with a run/walk and then again today...feeling a little discomfort but my physio friend says not to worry too much about that...thank you x

[Hidden in reply to Mummycav]

Ooooh, this sounds so positive 😊 go steady and good luck. I'll be thinking of you.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you 😊

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Oh no! Not good Mummycav but you're a pro so you know that injury is temporary, running is forever so rest up and you’ll be tickety boo in no time x

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you Irishprincess ...I’m taking some tentative steps off the IC...fingers crossed xx

[grumpyoldgirl]

You can squeeze in between Bluebirdrunner and me, and take as long as you need - but don't stay here for too long!🤗 There, we've got you in a hug sandwich 😊

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Ohhhh, I love the sound of that..this is working a treat xx

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Oh dear Mummycav, heal well and try and enjoy your rest

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you SueAppleRun xx

[Elfe5 60minGraduate]

Oh no MC - bless ya! Healing hugs winging to you. Xxx

PS I’m sure Yorkshire girls heal swiftly...😉

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate10 in reply to Elfe5]

Thank you Elfe5 ..I think you’re right xx

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

As you're creeping off it I'm perched on the edge!! I'm hoping a few days rest and some strengthening exercises will do me some good and I might even follow your example of some run /walks. Fingers crossed you keep moving in the right direction
