I'm Glad We Talked
that's what my GP told me when I met her yesterday evening. Haven't been visiting her clinic in ages because well... I prefer another doctor who is not on my company's panel and who is more clued-in to runners ailments because he had a few patients who runs.
Anyway, am proud to say I haven't had *touch wood* any aches or pains or running related in injuries for the past two months to warrant a need to see a doctor! :)
So, I went to see her because I can't always go visit the other GP since he is my husband's panel doctor not mine. Can't always use hubby's entitlement when I have mine, right?
I went there to stock up on my glucosamine which I am currently taking for all the abuse I subject my knees to. The arrays of them at the drugstore/sports/health related stores scares me into making a decision on which brand to buy so I am always more comfortable getting them from the clinic.
We discussed about my knees and of course that lead us to running. I think we spent almost half an hour talking about running! And boy did she made me happy. She told me that I definitely looked more toned, compared to the last time I saw her! *grin*
She said she always wanted to run again (she was an athlete, she said) and I ended up giving her the URLs of the few blogs that updates on all running/walking/cycling events and promised her that I'll give her a call if there's any interesting events she might be interested in joining.
She was glad to talk to me and get excited to be active and I was glad to talk to someone about running.
great..good to exercise.
ReplyDeleteit is
DeleteEm... "looked more toned", em... I wanna get out from my bed at 6am and start running too. Must fight the lazy worm in my stomach~~
ReplyDeleteMy lazy worm always picket also when I made them workout in the morning. ;p
DeleteAiyah! No need wake up at 6 lah! 8am also can. ^^
Cannot la, 8am sudah mau masuk kerja T_T
DeleteI'm thinking to take glucosamine supplement, too. Can hear my knees "klik-klik, klak klak" nowadays, especially when bending up and down...
ReplyDeleteI never run la, but do some yoga and lots of climbing in the house, hehehe.... old aunty already.
Lots of different ways to workout. :)
DeleteI cannot and do not have the patience and flexibilty to do yoga or pilates. huhuhu
hikss.. ko pun menjadi kan aku seorang yang aktif semula. tunggu aku kuruih sket lagi, aku pun nak jogging2.. sementara nih walking2 je mampu nya :D i love u bad !!
ReplyDeletesikit sikit lama lama jadi bukit! Kan? You can do it! ^^
DeleteMy reading muscles are very toned! :D
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Do runners get arthritis more often or less often? Or running has nothing to do it it?
I bet they are! ;)
DeleteArthritis wise - I'm lazy so I'll just put a link here and ask you to exercise your reading muscles by reading the link. Sounds good? ;)
Always happy to read, and happy to learn there's no link between running and gout. :D
DeleteThis bit caught my attention: "As the foot strikes the ground, the forces borne by the bones and joints of the leg can reach six times the body’s weight."
Wow. I've just gained new respect for the human leg! o_0
That gout comment made me smile. Zaini and Raimie made fun of me whenever I eat crabs and prawns because of 1 doctor insistence that I have gout and pooh-pooh my explanation about me and my running instead of blaming on my food intake.
DeleteShe told me that the pain I was having was similar to gout and she insisted that I had taken seafood earlier. Like she knew better what I ate and I didn't. Grrrr....
And by the way, I double-checked and no, I don't have gout.
haha, at first i thot what happened.. glad that we talked?? i was thinking about something else - maybe you were pregnant!! hahahaha..
ReplyDeleteIf I'm pregnant - I would've meet her before I even got pregnant already! I don't do accidents. xD
Deletewow, so nice you can use your husband's panel doctor also?? good benefit lah, so far all my company are not providing medical benefits for spouse also..
ReplyDeleteYou can what! Go work in a bank. Good benefits there. xD
Deletehehe, so you are influencing the doctor to run together with you?? hmmm, good, so you now find a kaki lari huh?? :p
ReplyDeleteNot together lah... Just the fact that people wants to run or make the effort makes me happy already. No need to be my running kaki. xD
DeleteYou know London Marathon?
ReplyDeleteA lot of people run in that marathon, but even more people take part for charities. They don;t run for themselves, they run for others lah.
So touching.
You find a sponsor lah and can also do a good deed.
Standard Chartered KL Marathon in June will also have a "Run for cause" event.
DeleteIt's great for runners to enjoy a run and at the same time doing it for a cause. :)
Good that you are on glucosamine.
ReplyDeleteOh! You two shared the same interest! It sounded like a... hmmm what do you call it?.... mutual symbiosis? Hehehe I hope I'm right :p
ReplyDeleteAnd, were you happy to have been noticed that you are more toned now? :p
Better toned or fitter than saying that I lost weight.
DeleteTell me I'm stronger and I'll smile too. ;p
Fuiyo! More toned? Must celebrate! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMore toned, compared to very toned is different you know. Like fat and less fat. LOL
DeleteOh! You must be glad to find a doctor who shares the same interest with you! : D
ReplyDeleteAfterwards, easy to "cerita" all about my running ailments with her. ;)
Deletegive you a big hug *worth 90kg+* :P
ReplyDeleteteddy bear hug! Nice one owh. :)
