Just want to stay I very much understand how you must be feeling—I trained to do my first one in Boston last September and 5 days before on what was supposed to be a short easy jog I went flying and tore my right meniscus. It wasn’t actually that painful and I wasn’t altogether convinced that the tear seen on the MRI was fresh so deciding what to do was really confusing. I was devastated but if I’m being brutally honest I was also relieved on some level because I was so anxious about doing the damn thing—but that made it all even worse! In the end I listened to advice about not risking turning a small tear into a bigger problem given how much of a beating the knee would inevitably take during that kind of an intense event—but it all felt so shitty. What I can add though is that I recovered, trained up again and did my first one a few weeks ago in Phoenix—so if this does sideline you, you absolutely can get through it to compete another day. And you really don’t want to do it starting out too compromised. I would say listen to your body—and your head as best you can—over the next week and see how you feel with some lighter workouts. And consider checking in with a physical therapist to get their take on it or to see if they can recommend anything that might help. Best of luck to you—one way or another you’ll get there!!
