Back fat and an old lady knee – now that’s the new hotness

It’s official. I’m old. Well, my left leg is anyway. The actual age of my knee is 26, but lately it has felt like it’s around 90. And today I had to go to the doctor to look at said knee, which has plagued me for nine years.

The good news is, I am still able to run, but trying to explain about how I hurt my knee in the first place has always been a bit interesting.

No pain, no gain…unless it’s eighth grade P.E.

Are my legs supposed to hurt this much?

No, really. I have started walking like an 85-year-old woman with osteoporosis. I didn’t think it was possible to be this sore. OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration. I know it’s possible to be in a lot more pain, but I figured my lungs would go into shock long before my legs did.
