...not quite gone. I got back to some easy training after Palo Duro only to find that my right knee wants to be troublesome. I seem to have a sharp shooting pain on my right knee, bottom left of the kneecap. I have no clue what it is. It is impossible to do deadlifts, if that helps anyone. I ran on it again Sunday, and was forced to stop after only 2 miles(I have never slowed to even walk on a training run). The pain subsided and I made another 6mi easing way back if I felt the pain mounting up. As expected Monday morning the knee hurt like hell and took several minutes of walking on it to be able to walk without a limp.
Now 2 days of rest it feels much better. I'm restraining myself from running tonight. I can still feel it if I have sat for too long in the same position or put too much weight on it. I know as soon as I start running I'll feel the pain, I'm just hoping I can adjust my stride/pace to get some decent miles in.
I have been taking fish oil, and tri-flex(glucosameine/chondr.../MSM) mind the spelling. I am hoping these will alleviate some of the pain. I am also examining my stride. I feel like I must be landing on my heel too much? on my right leg. Next run I am really going to focus on perfect form.
I figure I will run until I can't run anymore then switch over to cycling...I know it sounds ignorant, but I have been paying for health insurance for 6 years and have never used it. Maybe a nice knee replacement will do the trick...lol...I'm just kidding, but maybe a trip to the doctor wouldn't hurt. I just feel like I know what they'll say...."no more running"....and I know I won't listen and it'll be a waste of money.
Well that's all I had to say any suggestions are welcome,
Jeremy
