One of the most difficult things I've had to go through

Today makes 5 months from the day I had surgery. Tomorrow morning I'm having a reevaluation on my knee to determine if I can start integrating myself into regular team training.
Yesterday I ran on an outdoor track for the first time since August. I timed myself for a mile and got 5:45. Before I was injured I was running at a 5:02 so I'm hoping I can improve my time quickly. Does anyone have any idea of how long it might take me to regain my previous level of fitness?  Click it |

I had a minor hamstring injury recently and its taken me a month and now i feel like im back at my full fitness level again.  CRYSTAL PALACE FC keller8 "If you don't believe in yourself why should anyone else?" Andrei Shevchencko. |

This past weekend I made my first appearance this year for my club. It was just over 8 months since when I was injured. The speed of the game caught me a bit off guard but overall I played alright. We had games Saturday against South Central and Sunday against Oakwood SC (both from Connecticut). We won 2-0 and 5-0 respectively. I came on as a sub with about 20 minutes left in each. It's great to finally be back!!

talking about colleges, can you not go to a smaller one then switch after a year? say you want to "change courses" or whatever?
 People who say something cannot be done are often surprised by others doing it. |

You could do that. It's not uncommon for student athletes to change schools after a year. However if you move from one division 1 school to another division 1 school you'll have to sit out a year from varsity athletics. But if you move from a d2 or d3 school to a d1 school then you are permitted to step into the team with no restrictions.

yeah that really sounds pretty bad to have that in your senior year I had my ACL torn too I had surgery 2 and a half months ago but your pretty lucky I guess to be playing after 5 months because they are always telling me it will be about 6 to 8 months which really stinks cause I hope to try out for FC Portland and try outs are about 2 months away so that will be close to 5 months. So I don't know what my point of all this is but I know a ton of people who have torn their ACLs it's a very common injury.

How the heck do you all keep sane when you're out for 6-8 months, or even over a year? I'm going BALLISTIC and I've only been out for 8 weeks!!
Bloody hell AJC, I feel so good for you making your return to your football. No pain or twinges I hope?
