Messed Up Knee

I was trail running on the Appalachian Trail.  I was really moving out and feeling good, having fantasies that I would eventually be doing 20 mile trail running days.  What great shape I would be in come marathon day in Erie, PA, in September.  But then my knee started talking to me. Arthritis.  RICE, the doc says:  Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

And Naproxen, 500mg, twice a day.

I also happen to know that arthritis responds well to exercise.  I saw an article on it a while back.  Many people use arthritis as an excuse, a rationalization to sit on their couch and eat potato chips or donuts.  Not me.  No way.

Gonna hike it off.
