There was never a "moment" that caused my injury.. I didn't fall or twist it or anything. It was just a nagging knee pain APPARENTLY caused by a plica, but looking back I think it was actually IT band issues. I had so many posts about what was wrong with my knee but most of them were WRONG. I eventually had a plica removed. It's frustrating because I feel like my knee hurts just as much now as it did before, that's why I think it was actually IT band stuff. Ugh. Anyway, here are two links that tell a little bit of the story: http://meggorun.blogspot.com/2014/01/glorrrrrrry-glory-halleluuuuuuuuujah.html http://meggorun.blogspot.com/2014/01/knee-scope-update.htmlMeg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-5620136842651487072014-06-13T12:11:16.608-04:002014-06-13T12:11:16.608-04:00I definitely don't take it for granted!I definitely don't take it for granted!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-74736391467786757722014-06-13T11:39:23.642-04:002014-06-13T11:39:23.642-04:00LOL - love your little "PS" .... take a...LOL - love your little "PS" .... take advantage of your being able to sleep late in the summer time and know that I will be jealous as I will still be getting up early for work HAHA! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13019034732577425037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-14189964811540644792014-06-12T22:01:34.287-04:002014-06-12T22:01:34.287-04:00About the results- that is awesome and scary at th...About the results- that is awesome and scary at the same time!

LOL jk. I don't have any fancy plans. I just want to start lifting lower body more as my knee allows as well as doing as least one or two shorter tempo runs per week. When I force myself to run fast, I naturally get faster. Oh and I want to do plyos as my knee allows as well. This all depends on my stupid wonky knee!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-39519706686246108432014-06-12T16:33:05.786-04:002014-06-12T16:33:05.786-04:00Thank you Tonya!

It's more about the knowledge the trainer has to help someone reach their goals as well as being a motivator and cheerleader. Since you're a teacher, you already have those qualities! You will find this interesting- in my studies, there were several chapters that were almost like an educational psychology class.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-77960068753883298052014-06-12T12:58:29.644-04:002014-06-12T12:58:29.644-04:00I am excited to follow your journey. :)I am excited to follow your journey. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-50507809076123324632014-06-12T12:58:03.389-04:002014-06-12T12:58:03.389-04:00I am sorry, I need my beauty rest! ;)I am sorry, I need my beauty rest! ;)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-77958529106537140652014-06-12T12:04:38.129-04:002014-06-12T12:04:38.129-04:00Can't wait for your ACE Cert, you are going to...Can't wait for your ACE Cert, you are going to do great.
