Got my MRI results back yesterday. Lots of damage to the ligaments and cartilage and a severe bone bruise that will probably take the longest of everything to heal, but no torn meniscus which is good news. Started PT, and I've been given the thumbs up on the stationary bike for short periods of time at reasonable effort. Could be many weeks though before I'm running again because impact on the knee still hurts a lot. At least I'm making progress. All this for a momentary loss of focus and a trip & fall.
Had a great 30 minute maintenance run on Thursday in preparation for the Trails & Tails 10k I'm running this morning... loving this cooler weather we're having in North Florida. 50s at night, 70s during the day. Back to the run. Making good time during the first 2-3 miles, average pace around 13'25". Until that tree root jumped out at about the 3 mile marker and I went sprawling on my left side..forgetting to NOT stick out my left arm to catch/brace myself. Yeah. Torn rotator cuff. And all I thought I hurt was my dignity. Will start PT next week. No more trail running for me. Or any exercise that causes movement of my left shoulder for at least a week. No gym, no running. Hopefully in a week or two I can at least starting walking around the neighborhood. But the doctor prescribed some awesome pain medication, since I nearly passed out from the pain as they were trying to take x-rays of my shoulder, arm and wrist to make sure nothing was broken.

Animal Rescue 10.2K this morning, 2nd in my age group. BEAUTIFUL day, sunny and 50s. I ran with the Garmin in my pocket. I usually don't pay attention to it during a short race. I just obsess about stats afterwards.

I feel your pain. That damn tree root did me in 6 weeks ago as well. I hope your rotator cuff heals more quickly than my knee. I actually did some damage to my palm as well when I caught myself (why oh why didn't I roll into that fall?), and I kind think I might've broken something in there too, but I haven't bothered mentioning that here, and at this point, it's probably too late to do anything about it. Everything feels like it's in the right place - just still sore 6 weeks later. I've been far more focused on the knee all along so I've convinced myself that the palm is just a bad bone bruise.
