Come back to Scoatland! The cost of the air fare will be less than the cost of health insurance, and you could get yourself on as an emergency patient! (j/k)

When I read the first part, I thought it was going to end up in an epic ‘Ami Fall’. One of colleagues damaged her knee 4 years ago. She’s on the waiting list for an operation where they take a tendon or something from her hamstring. Ummmm yeah… good luck with that.

ah, yeah. it does make it a bit more difficult if you don’t already have a bike. i don’t have one myself, but i’ve been thinking about getting one for a while. (not to mention the last two times i tried to ride a bike i was afraid i was going to get myself killed.)

@AG – Yeah it’s been suggested. It’s just not as easy to buy a bike and then go to a specific spot where i’d feel comfortable biking around in as it is to just put on sneakers and jog in whatever park I happen across. I ought to try it though, supposedly it’s a very healthy way to exercise.

You need running shoes (the one with fat sole) that reduces vibrations on your joints if you run a lot… and watch out for your tendons as well =p

could you ride a bike instead? that’s supposed to be easier on your joints.

Yeah as I also don’t have health insurance at the moment, I decided to temporarily give up running until I get insurance so I can really figure it out. I want to run really badly, but it was so painful as to keep me up at night when it was happening, so I thought it better I not just grind my kneecaps away.
Good luck with yours as well!

Oh my god! This just happened to me… I started running two or three weeks ago and oh my god my knees… I stand for 97% of my job and it was becoming hell. I was like “Okay, no health insurance, knees hurting probably doesn’t mean a vital organ is failing, so maybe I’m okay…” and then one day it just went away so that’s cool. Of course that was after two weeks of not running…
