After two months that included physical therapy, ultrasound & massages in addition to stretching like a ballerina every day according to the physician’s orders, i finally got rid of the pain on my right knee pain (IT Band). Or at least that’s what I thought… just a couple of weeks ago; my right knee introduced me to its inner side - the MCL. After ignoring the aches on my inner lower knee during several easy runs, the situation got worse and its back to “active therapy” mode…
Several months ago, when I asked Inbal, a NY Marathon 2007 graduate, about her training plan and targets for the NY 2008 she replied with “just want to avoid the injuries – should be fun running with no pain…”. At that time, I didn’t fully appreciate this. The longing for “no pain” running…
Inbal is now training for NY 2008 with a blind runner.
Learning about the determination and will power of such blind runner’s puts our pains & challenges in their proper perspective...
