Cherylseptember Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Well, I am beyond bummed. On September 3, I heard a snapping sound in my knee ( not running-standing in kitchen) and had a sharp pain slice through it. I've been giving it time to rest and hopefully recover on its own. Unfortunately, it now looks like I am dealing with a severed ACL; just waiting for an MRI to confirm it. This is when I was going to be running my first 5K race and I am so depressed that it's not ever going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jschaferhess Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Once it's repaired and you heal as prescribed will you be able to begin again? Or does this mean you'll never run again? As ambitious as you are you'll find a way back, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherylseptember Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's possible, but from my understanding there is a very long recovery period and I dont know if I have what it takes to start over after such a setback. I'm much better at encouraging other people than I am myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
