health definitely comes first, but i think it's super valid to grieve the things we let go of, even if it's for the best. :( i enjoyed getting to know you through this!
ps. i also hurt my knee in college after a brief stint cheerleading (weirdly, it was a requirement for first-year students at the university). it wasn't a big injury or whatever, but my knee has also never been the same since, so i totally felt that
I really enjoyed reading about how we can hold both sorrow and nostalgia at the same time. I feel this about all of the distance running events I used to do.
I haven't been able to find any feeling quite like the combo of exhaustion and exhilaration I felt after running all day through the mountains.

I do still mourn it on occasion. Knee injuries, however slight, can be bad! Thanks for your comment!

Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your comment, Maria! I haven’t found that combo either. 😢
