So I'm tall. Maybe because of that I have the luck of being pretty athletic, but also the luck of The Clumsies. Which means I fall a lot... And my ankles tend to have a serious sprain or break a few times a year... However, my knees. My strong under appreciated stabilizers, have been sheltered by my tumbles. Now, these girls have the task of getting me down river. With a boat+me+gear that's about 250 pounds...
My ankles celebrate my seated position.
..
But my knees...
they ache...
they rash...
They swell...
And they are amazing.
I'm not the in-shape lady I was (I'll get back there- hell, I'm on that journey now), but I am looking at my knees, feeling them burn (almost like they're not connected to me), had a moment of 'I wish you looked prettier', then it hit me: you two are awesome.
There, I'm feeding my knees positive vibes so they don't quit on me.
We can do it, you dear Super Stars...
