injuries...

it's always not a good feeling when u felt some pain in some part of ur body, especially during training. as coach said that in racing, u shld try to manage pain. but, in training.....really? what can u do? rest....which at most time u feel like as if when u don't train, u could fall behind. fall behind ur teammates' training, even fall behind urself from last season.
for the past 2-3 months, i hd been battling a tendonitis on the inside part of my right knee. unsurprisingly, this problem got worse as i was trying new shoes from my running. at first, i thought it was a lingering effect from not fully healed, but then, coach started noticing the way i ran, just not rite.
did it get worse? at first, i wasn't so sure. at this point, i don't think so, since the pain is not as bad as it was abt 1 month ago.
i wanted so badly to try other shoes in the market, but yet, my big huge feet jst weren't abt to cooperate. so now, i am back to the 1 and only shoe in the market that can fit my big huge feet. if only the shoe that i'm wearing would jst sponsor me directly; especially, now, i know for sure, that is the only shoe brand (asics) and model that i can wear, pretty much for the rest of life athletic life. oh well....
is it better now?
absolutely. i run better, i walk better. i can feel my bounce again on the run. even tho, as of now, i can still feel a little pain, but it's dfntly manageable.
what do i learned? new isn't always better. injuries is always kind of sucks....
