THE MAIN THING WAS: It just didn't seem fair. I'd just gotten back into training after a broken shoulder had kept me on the sidelines during most of the track season. When I broke my shoulder, I called a Christian Science practitioner and asked if he would pray with me. And I ended up having a great healing—and learning a lot.
But then I began having problems with my knee.
The pain started almost as soon as I got back into the intensive training that I pretty much do year-round. I was running long distances on a daily basis, and the more I ran, the more my knee hurt. I didn't know what was wrong, but something definitely was. And that something became more and more aggravated as the summer began.
