Small setback

Well, after my last post I was feeling pretty good. Unfortunately when I woke up the next morning, I knew my running "career" would have to be put on hold. I was in severe pain, limping around ... essentially, I was pretty pathetic. The pain got worse and worse until I decided it was time to see an Orthopedic surgeon for an assessment. He thought that I might need surgery based on the symptoms and said "no running until we get this cleared up." I obeyed ... begrudgingly. So, one X-ray, one MRI and nearly two weeks later I got the results. Nothing! There was no visible reason for my pain. Was it all in my head? No way. Does it feel better now that I've taken two weeks off? Absolutely (although it's still clicking like crazy). So, tomorrow I will meet my running group at 7am and get back on the horse, so to speak. Wish me luck - I think I'll need it!
