AM - From bad to worse today. The knee was killing me today the entire run so I turned around after three miles and headed back. The pain was the worst it has ever been. The only way I can describe it is that it felt like someone was poking me in the knee with a knife every stride. The only other time I have been in this much pain while running was when I had a really bad stress fracture in college. So right now things are not looking good running wise. I may be reduced to cross training for awhile.

Looking back at my blogs I initially hurt my knee on November 15th. So it has been almost 11 weeks that I have had this problem. It is time to get it fixed and stop playing around.

Yikes! Get well and take it easy until you can get a handle on this.

Take it easy Ted and don't do another thing until you get it diagnosed!!!

Hard as it is for me to even write these words: I would stop running altogether. Better to take time off now and get it healed so you can have a full healthy season. Have you had it diagnosed?

Ted, let me know what you find out on your hip issues. I've still been having problems. I went to a chiropractor twice and I've had one massage, I'll probably have another one before to long.

I hate being injured,especially when I really have a desire to be out there running more miles.

To stop running is a very tough decision to make, but a smart one. Through cross training you will maintain fitness and still feel a sense of accomplishment when finishing a good workout of another kind.

Time to rest the knee. Hope the MRI comes back with better news. I am sorry to hear the this injury is lingering for so long. Get yourself well!

Ted, This is Kory's wife I also have had knee problems (also feels like knives pushing into it)I have stopped running for a couple weeks now and I have been doing cross training it is feeling much better. The rest has done me well hope to try again soon, hopefully in some nice weather not CRAZY like Kory he is an animal just like everyone say's he is. Hope your feeling better soon.

Best of luck. I'm sorry that you have to be going through this. I really wish you the best, fastest recovery possible. Take the time now though to get it completely cleared up...
