As an endurance athlete, I’ve always believed in the power of movement as both medicine and a tool for maintaining mental health. Yesterday, I received the results of my MRI, and the news was difficult to process:
• A subtle tibial fracture
• A medial meniscus tear
• A small cyst, likely related to the meniscus injury
So, what now? The immediate focus is on what I can do:
• Prioritize my nutrition
• Incorporate safe movement—walking, upper body strength work, and anything that doesn’t aggravate the fracture, tear, or cyst
• Call on Tuesday to get in with a specialist for a more targeted recovery plan
This is a setback, but also an opportunity to rebuild with intention. Movement is still medicine—just in a different form for now.
Staying Strong with Positivity and always Shining Within!
