Out of the utmost respect and deep love for one of my favorite games, I’ve decided to institute a
new Wednesday tradition thus “Would you rather Wednesday” has been born. Throw your favorite “would you rather”
questions at me and they might just show up in the next edition!
Before I get into it, I’ve had several e-mails asking me for an ACL PT
update. PT is painful; I knew it would
be. However, it is working. I have increased my bent knee range of motion
from 70 deg. to 91 deg. in just three sessions – even my PT was impressed. I can also stand on my leg with my knee bent
for 10 seconds before it starts to collapse.
In the interest of being totally honest, I sometimes shake in pain and I
want to scream and run hop from the building but I know I have to push
through this. As runners, we know
how to push ourselves; I have simply applied what I’ve learned throughout
running to my PT and recovery. It’s
about pushing through the pain and knowing that what we’re doing is to better
our bodies to allow us to accomplish our goals and the end result.
So, on a happier note: Would
you rather…?
Would you rather… have to run everywhere, or never be able to run
again?
I would run
everywhere. This not running business is
bad for me and all of my relationships – besides, running is good for our souls
:)
Would you rather … not be able to use your arm, or your leg?
My arm – I could
still run and walk and do normal people things with only one arm.
Would you rather … be able to eat only salads for lunch for the rest
of your life, or never be able to eat a salad again, ever?
I would eat
salads every day for lunch for the rest of my life – especially the ones from
the Green Kitchen.
Would you rather … never be able to watch another movie again, or
never be able to watch TV again?
I could skip the
movies because I would probably lose it if I could never watch another episode
of the FOX NFL Sunday guys, and football in general.
Would you rather … cheer for your team’s biggest rival for three years,
or be unable to watch your favorite teams for five years?
I don’t think I could
EVER cheer for my teams’ rivals. I would
have to resort to listening to games on the radio (LOOPHOLE!!!)
Would you rather … have to sing everything you say for one year, or
never be able to listen to music again?
I would have to
sing everything but I would probably lose a lot of friends because I am quite a
terrible singer.
Would you rather … be a contestant on American Ninja Warrior or a
contestant on Survivor?
Forget eating
bugs and a million dollars, I’m going with American Ninja Warrior – those people
are incredible and those obstacles look amazing.
Would you rather … climb Everest (highest point on Earth) or pilot
down to the Mariana Trench (deepest part of the ocean)? *Neither is not an
option and hypothetically, neither of these choices would have any permanent
repercussions.
I’m going with
Everest – I love a challenge and the thought of being that deep in the ocean
with only water surrounding me scares me to no end.
Would you rather … have to travel every other week for the next 5
years or never be able to travel again?
I’m going with
travel every other week – I would hate to miss out on seeing the rest of the
world.
Happy Wednesday!!!
Amazing! Just continue to keep tab on every process and element of your path to healing. It pays to check, so you can catch on all the aspects of your condition that still persists and remains problematic. Take care!
