I haven't written anything for nearly one month after my Penang Bridge Half Marathon race. My excuse? I stopped running as my right knee is in bad shape.
Today I decided to run at KLCC park to see how bad it was and how unfit I had become. On the fitness aspect, I am not as unfit as I thought I would become. I was able to run 2 laps (2.6km) without too much trouble. I walked another 2 laps with Gan and told him about the PBR. As I am writing this now at 10.30 pm, my left knee is very sore.
I have to stop running for a while and look for other ways to exercise and maintain a minimum level of fitness. I thinks it's time for me to step on the elliptical machine at the gym. If only my knee is better , maybe I can start next Monday.
God, I am going to miss running so much.

Sorry to hear about this and I can identify with your despair for not being able to run without the pain. None impact exercises may be the short term answer for now to maintain your fitness level and perhaps some good supplement for joint health can help too. I'm taking "glucosamine & chondroitin" daily.
Take care & get well soon!

Just came across your blog. Nice site Sorry to learn of your setback. Seems like you get a lot from your running. I post with another running friend, Amy. Pool running is amazing if you have access to a pool. We look forward to reading about progress on your site.
