A little hesitant to run today, woke up and my knee was pretty sore. So I procrastinated all day to see if the soreness would go away and that wasn't the case. I attempted to run and it was like yesterday for about 35 minutes. Little to no pain, then the last 2.5 minutes started to hurt. I am beginning to wonder with this injury of what it really is. I know it's my IT band but I question it sometimes because last time I had this injury I hurt pretty bad after the run is over with. Now pain goes away almost instantly.

If any of you guys are experts in knee therapy let me know what you think. I think ultimately I am going to get a real massage and see if that might help the ITB a little also.

But I am really grateful to get in 37.5 minutes today of solid miles.

Good to see you getting some miles. Wish I knew something about knees that I could offer you. A good massage can't hurt. Best of luck getting healed up soon.

The knee pain I had last winter kept me out for six weeks. I never got it checked to see for sure what it was.

But I would try running on a Monday and if it hurt during the run I took the rest of the week off and tried again the next Monday. I kept doing that for 6 weeks until finally it didn't hurt on the 7th Monday.

Not sure that helps you, but that is what I did. It may just take some time. Ice that bad boy like crazy though!

Thanks Justin and Riley,

I know this is a little bump in the road. Just bad time of the year, to much good food. Stomach is getting soft!
