WISH ME LUCK ! ! !
I'm back
I'm very happy that I can go back to running after resting for 1 month from my knees pain. Although not 100% recovered, I still continue doing the icing on the pain areas and some strengthening exercise at the gym. During the 1 month period, I have been to 4 Chinese tit da, 1 sport clinic and 1 clinic to treat my knees. The sport clinic and the clinic gave the same explanation that my both knees are okay. I'm glad to hear that :D
Also, need to thank my running frens who keep motivating me to get back to running and also the advises on how to treat my knee pains.
Here are my runnings for the past 1 week.
31 Aug 2010 - LSD 22.17km (2:38)
3 Sep 2010 - Slow run 7.38km (0:46)
5 Sep 2010 - LSD 25.03km (3:00) - first time hit 25K and running in a drizzling rain.. woohoo..
As I'm still worried about my knees, I now run at a slower pace with shorter strides to minimise the impact on my knees. I'm now the slowest runner in my normal running group... haha...
But the most important thing is I'm still running. Need to slowly gain back my endurance fitness and stamina.
Lastly, I have joined the adiNation of Runners on 3 Sep 2010 for their weekly run. Here is my first stamp! :)
I'm now looking forward the Newton 25K. My goal is to finish the run with no injury!

My toe nail falling off
I got this black toe nail during the SCKLM back in June 2010. Finally after almost 2 months, it has fallen off :)
It became loose when I have accidental kicked the toe nail against the floor (if I'm not mistaken) when I was swimming at Bandar Tun Razak this evening.
I still have to slowly pulled out the remaining nail. Luckily, there is no pain or bleeding.
Now my toe is going to get a new nail.
Bought a new book... again?
I don't really have interest in reading. I have gave up reading Tuesday with Morrie with 10++ pages to go... haha...
Yet I bought another new book today at KinoKuniya for RM32.00. Reason? Maybe because it has 50 different short stories.
And oh... I still have several other books untouched. I hope this book does not has the same fate like Tuesday with Morrie :P
Wanna get back to the gym & running
I went back to my hometown last Saturday and at the same time went for my knees treatment. My parent asked around and found out there is one Ti Da sifu at Kajang wet market which is quite famous. I think the sifu is more than 65 years old already.
I asked the sifu whether my case is serious. The sifu asked me not to worry too much and said it's not a joint or bone problem. He said there are some blood vessels/veins 'tightness' around the knees which caused the pain or uneasiness. The sifu massaged my both legs, from the thighs till to the toes. After the massage, the sifu just wrapped my right knee with some herbs. My right knee is more painful than the left knee. The sifu also reckon me to boil and drink some Chinese herbs for 3 days. So, he gave me 3 packets of Chinese herbs. I need to boil the herbs for 4 hours before I can drink the medicine. The massage treatment cost me RM50 and the herbs cost RM25 per packet.
Today, my knees feel much better. I can now bend down on my knees without much pain liao. I might go back to the tida sifu for final treatment this week.
Before that, I will go out and run.. I just want to have a feel on my knees condition.
