This is funny
I limped over 3 miles today. I pulled something behind my knee (all the way on the back of my leg, not behind the kneecap). I started to feel it during the cool down yesterday, then it felt okay, and then when I woke up this morning it hurt to straighten my leg. I have been limping b/c it feels SOO much better to limp than to walk normally. I get injured a lot, but I haven’t had a limp in a while. Frankly, I am also just beyond caring if I am making a scene with the limping! I also wasn’t exercising or anything, the three miles comes from my normal walking to work and school routine. It was a bit painful, but it was unavoidable.
I am not even annoyed I am hurt. I am glad I got my race in. I think I will be better soon. I want to chill out anyways with the running for a week or so. And I think it is really kind of funny. I mean, I am ALWAYS hurt. ALWAYS. I just hope I am better for soccer practice on Thursday night. I am pretty sure I will go no matter what, but I would prefer not having to limp my way around the field. I am sure my teammates, who I don't know, would be thrilled to have a gimpy one on their team.

That sucks, that's not funny! Sorry you've got an injury, Audrey. Something about that one though is familiar. Pain on the back of the knee. One site said that it can be a knee cap injury but you feel it in the back. Be careful with it, Audrey. Hope it clears up quickly.

Audrey, congrats on your strong race and PR at Tufts! It's sounds like you all had a great time. I'm so envious. :) Sorry to hear about your back-of-the-knee pain. I hope it's not serious. Don't get too crazy at soccer...let those injuries heal up!

Sorry to hear that you injured your knees. Hopefully it is not serious and you will recover swiftly for your soccer match!

Maybe lifting on a consistent basis would prevent some injuries? maybe you already do, but it was the first thought i had when i read your post, so i figured i would share it:)
