7 miles with Sasha and first 2 with Hyrum. After over a week of letting the knee rest it is still trashed. I am going to keep running and see if it gets worse and I guess it is back to the doctor again as well. I am starting to wonder if I am going to get over this anytime soon. I am starting to think res may not be doing the trick as I did not run for 8 days and it did not improve and I think it even got worse this time. Kind of bummed so sorry for not being on the blog more often.

Early run with Sasha, Josse, Jeff, and Adam. I was able to get in 6 miles but still painful. Yesterday after running the knee was killing all day and today it has been pretty sore all day as well but not quite as bad as yesterday. I have not been using anti-infl. meds this week as after being on prescription stuff for a month I think I need a break. That might be why the pain has been a little worse throughout the day than before. I will continue with the 6 mile runs for now and hopefully get back in to the doc for another visit soon. If I need surgery or need to get it scoped I would prefer to just get it done, in fact I am almost hoping for that at this point as it seems it would be better than not knowing and this thing just not healing up. At this point I do not think it is going to heal up on its own with just rest but I may be wrong. If all else fails then it may mean I have to end up taking a much longer period of time off. It is starting to look like 2008 is going to be a loss running wise for me.

Did not get up to run with Sasha as I did not sleep well and was feeling pretty bad. So I ran 4 miles with kids when I got home with last two at 7:00 pace with James. Knee hurts pretty bad still and to top it off I think I am coming down with something again. When it rains it pours!
