I had plans this year but I just broke myself. I'm probably sidelined for 5-6 months.
The plan was to start running this weekend, then in a few weeks, add some fairly rigorous day hikes in the hills above town. It's STEEP here. That should get me ready for backpacking, then hit that hard on weekends while running on weekdays all summer. Peak on opening day of deer season.
However, I popped a tendon under my left knee cap Tuesday rolling out of bed and I can't hardly walk to the front door. Last time that happened I was 5-6 months, doing physical therapy, before I was able to walk without pain, never mind run.
[bleep].
My guess ... if I behave properly, I'll be able to hobble around the woods by October but I'll be in horrible shape.
Well, maybe next year ...

Yup. I hurt my knee last week skiing. I'd say i tore some cartilage, and maybe a slight MCL tear (all self diagnosed so far). I love to ski, but the skis always seem to find a way to hurt me. I'm hoping, no surgery, rehab on my own, and be back at it soon. I guess it'll be core "workouts", and arms/shoulders only, at least for awhile. I hate being injured.
What happens when you get scared half to death...twice?
