When we break down

Hi folks
I was so determined to break that mental wall - and I did - or at least I thought so. I prepared myself for another long run on the Friday and really had an amazing run up to the last couple of kms. Then my knee packed up :-(
It froze on me and the started to make the most frightening grinding noises. After a few days rest and trying to run a short distance I had to give up. Now I am on antiinflammatories, off running for 2-3 weeks and have a possible stress fracture in my left foot (that is probably what set the knee off).
I also have a most horrible cough that just doesn't want to go away even after a week of antibiotics. In other words I am a mess! Rest and lots of fluids and vitamins are the order of the day but seeing that patience is not my strong suit, it is hard to keep the positive mood up. I did my first round of aquajogging last Friday, am in the process of organising Osteo and Acupuncture and had a very thorough (and painful) deep massage - thank you Clint for sorting me out :-)
So here I am less than 11 weeks out, sore, unable to run und frustrated like h***.
Keep your fingers crossed for me
ciao
Pia
