I'm writing this a week and a half late... mostly out of depression and not wanting to look at how much training I'm missing. I had an accident with my friend's dog just after I picked her up for a nice long run on the Urb. She got her leash wrapped around a trail marker and I got yanked off my feet, landing hard on the medial side of my right knee on a concrete surface. At first I was sure I'd torn something from how severe the pain was, but the swelling and pain subsided quickly with ice and ibuprofin. I self-diagnosed it as a minor MCL sprain and have been treating it as such.

Silly how small decisions can lead to major consequences. Carly has gotten herself wrapped on those posts before, but she was the one to get yanked, and she's learned to be wary of them. I knew that, but I still ran within a few inches of the post, which allowed her to get nervous and get the leash wrapped. Before I could react I was in the air.

After a few days of rehab I attempted a short run. My knee felt surprisingly good, but every so often I'd get a sharp pain in the medial side. I decided to keep it short and stay off my feet a couple more days.
