“Non-specific results from x-ray…”
I just got a call from my doctor’s office letting me know that I need to have an MRI. The x-ray showed some soft tissue swelling and there might be injury to the ligament. She told me not to run and definitely go easy on it. Bummer. Interestingly, I haven’t really felt any discomfort since last week and I ran Saturday and Sunday.
No workout this morning. We had a pretty heavy storm and a transformer blew up just as I was pulling in to the gym parking lot this morning. It was pretty cool - like a big, beautiful fireworks display. However, it did knock the electricity out and the gym closed down for the morning until power could be restored.
I probably won’t get home from work till after 8 tonight so I may double up my workout tomorrow. Not sure what to do about working lower body as I don’t want to risk further injury…
It’s PMS time and I’m H U N G R Y. Fortunately I’m not craving anything in particular, but I would’ve eaten my meals for the entire day by 10:30 this morning if I weren’t so busy. Whew. Things are finally gearing up for me at work with a project that’s been on-hold for many, many months.
Happy Monday!
xo, Rachel

Sorry to hear that Rachel, but I'm glad to hear that the pain has subsided. I'm crossing my fingers that it's nothing a little R & R won't cure.....
Hi Rachel! Sorry about the x-ray result. I'm praying that it's nothing serious since you were able to run pain-free both Saturday & Sunday. Maybe the doctor just saw something he's not sure of and he's just being cautious. In the meatime, try doing low-impact cardio such as eliptical, cycling, stairmaster, & swimming. For LBWO, could lunges & squats aggravate it? Maybe use low weights?
OH, NO! What a bummer to be dealing with an injury when you're rocking the PMA. Just do the best you can - stay on track with your eating and kick up your UBWO as much as possible. Have you tried swimming? I just noticed Katie Feldmom posted about it on her blog and it reminded me just how much of a kickass workout it is... and no impact.
On a semi-related topic... I've always considered Labor Day to represent the official end of summer... does that sound like a doable goal for our deal?
Hey girlie....an MRI, huh?? Hopefully you can just "rest" it off! You are in my thoughts. Way to go and re-arranging to make it work! It's all about planning and getting it all in!! GREAT JOB!! Stay strong through the PMS. I am the same way (ironically..right now, too!!) Love ya, Dede
sorry bout the injure woes... hope that it is something that will just heal with a bit of time... BUT..let it ok??? I'm still nusing an ankle that I didn't let heal properly in MAY!! word to the wise!
Hugs hon!
You just come visit me and I will do that MRI for you. That would be awesome.
Hope you heal up quick.
Take it easy, and just don't push it. I like the swimming idea, or biking is good too. As for weights listen to your body and probably lay off the Quads since that's a lot of knee action there.
Way to stay strong through the PMS, I was not so lucky this month with that challenge.
