Thanxs man, ill check dah site out, and my moms is working out an appointment with the doc, should be sometime this week. Imma bounce back stronger than ever though, I can feel it. I found some new speed in me by adjusting some technical problems, right before my ankle injury. In some training runs I equalled my pb running at 85%! My body was ready to run faster but with the ankle injury and the knee injury it seemed to tell me that I need to get stronger first. So thats what ill do after rehabilitation. Ill stream in a very carefully planned weights progam into my training regimen.
Hey daniel , I´ve just read your journal today and … what´s the hell! :mad:
Sorry for you man , but hey don´t worry so much cause you´re so young and I´m so sure you ´ll get back with tons of more power , just heal your pain , but this time make sure you get it right before the return!!! :o
Remenber that you´re so young to let an injury get you down.
HAVE PATIENCE AND FAITH MAN!!!
Thanxs man, it was just so distressing, that I felt ready to demolish my pbs and make a big comeback after the ankle injury, then he knee gave out. Im in high spirits though, not letting it keep me down these days. Ill be going to the doctor 2morrow hopefully, my mom kept delaying because she doesnt realise how serious the injury is even though I tirelessly explain to her. She finally gave in, and I hope she keeps her word. Or else Ill just withdraw some money out of my saving and just go to the doc myself.
BY the way, my big sister is a Doctor currently working in Jamaica but she is coming back for a 2 week holiday here, so she will help me rehabilitate while im home, so thats a big thumbs up.
In the mean time Im here doing some crunches and pushups to keep in shape. Ill start back my journal by Friday.
Daniel, how does the knee feel? Is there any sharp pain and have you tested it yet with any running?
The knee feels like crap most of the time. It feels like something is out of place or ruptured or something. It doesnt move smoothly at all without some kind of wierd friction that causes slight pain, sometimes the pain is bad, sometimes I can barely notice it.
Tested it out with a lil low intenity jog, not much pain, medium intesity, i was feeling the friction, high intensity, it hurt and i had to hop on one leg till i came to a stop because the leg with the injury felt horrible.
Due to this i didnt even attempt sprinting. Im stopping all foot movements and exercises that aggravate the injury until the doc advises me otherwise.
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan. It’s better not to risk an even worse injury which would only further prolong the comeback. Hopefully, the doctor you see is familiar with sports injuries.
Yea. He specialises in sports and hes the best sports doc there is around, so, i trust him.
Hello Daniel I hope you feel better by today.Stay calmed and be patience then you´ll see like the knee will get healed 
Yesterday “my coach” told me that my first meet will happen at the end of january ufffff!!!
I´m lot of nervous and I´m feeling if the Day gonna be tomorrow :o
I´m gonna to work so hard for it (but I like it).
Finally I get the CFTS book and it´s giving me a lot of support in my dairy training , however there´s a lot to learn for me (despite I have near fullyread the book)
Be with God all of you !!! I hope I will “see you” tomorrow
Thanxs for the good words. My sister is a doctor in Jamaica but she is back home for a week vacation. She said that its most likely a ruptured ligament with inflammation. I will have to do an MRI to isolate the problem so I can begin some medical treatment. Worse case scenario, I will need a knee surgery. Optimistic scenario, I will just have to take some anti-inflammatories etc, knee bands etc and have pysiotheraphy.
Good luck on your training, Ill be looking forward to the results of your first meet. With the kind of spirit and dedication that you have, great things will be in store for you.
Daniel,
What’s the word on your injury?
“…I’ve been to Georgia on a fast train honey…I wudn’t born no yesterday…Got a good Christian raisin’ and an eighth grade education…ain’t no need in y’all a treatin’ me this way…”
Waiting to go get some X-Rays. The injury doesnt feel any better or any worse though…
Have you ever had to experience the loss of a close family member during your athletic training or competition seasons?
My grandmother passed away last thursday and was buried yesterday. I kno she would want me to continue with my training and become the best I could be (because after she was the major factor in my startin T&F) but its kinda hard now ya know, when Im doing my (general fitness) training and I remember her, its hard to focus.
Have any of you ever had to deal with that sort of thing?
I know exactly how you feel, my grandmother died in March earlier this year in the middle of the season.It was hard to focus expecially since she died the week before my first outdoor meet.But, I just had to put it out of my head and focus.I am truly sorry for your loss, but I know you can get through it.
My dad died this past March while I was out of the country. It’s one of the hardest things to deal with. Best of luck with the situation. It is good to be sad sometimes, it will help you remember all of the good things the two of you had. Hope everything turns out well and that you can continue training and being the person that your grandmother would have wanted you to be.
Thanxs yall, Im feeling much betta now, ive been getting lots of support from my family, friends. fellow athletes and forum members. Im gonna keep at it no matter what now, dats wat she would have wanted.
Yo man , I´ve just read the new so I wanna give you all my support in that moment , I imagine there´s a big Heaven waiting for us who just trying our best in life , like I suppose is the case of your grandmama , so I imagine she´s looking you everyday from the clouds , and I´m sure she must feel full of proud to see you achieving your goals in life , I could imagine she with a very nice smile looking at you from Heaven and wishing for you all the precious gifts than life could bring to you . So don´t be sad and live with all the passion you can do it , cause I´m sure she like it very much.
All my respects for your grandmama!!!
