Well, I'm officially injured. My left knee hurt terribly after my ill advised attempt to run last Wed morning, 4 days after completing 52 miles at Run Like the Wind the previous Saturday. Since last Wednesday I've been using the foam roller diligently as Shan suggested and it seems to be working. Last Wednesday and Thursday I could barely navigate the stairs at work but by Friday the knee was much better. Saturday morning I had a good 2 mile walk with little or no pain. Misty and I walked 3 miles at Ken's Sunday and again I had little or no pain so I thought I'd be good for an easy 5+ miles at Kens yesterday after work. NOT!! The pain started immediately when I started running yesterday and didn't ease up at all so I bailed at the 3 mile mark. Funny thing is, not long after I got home I had little or no pain again and today I'm not in any pain and have gone up and down the stairs at work a couple of times with a tad of discomfort, nothing major, no sharp pain like I had when I was running.
I realize this isn't going to be fixed quickly and that I'll have to be patient. Reenie thinks she knows something that will help so I've got an appt with her after work today and I won't be shy about going to Richard McCormick either.
