Married, working, training. While my wife has nixed all future attempts to grow glorious mustaches, she has been supportive of my crazy running dreams. Life is good.
10 easy on the Broadway loop. The knee felt fine today, seems the ice is working.

Hi Cannonball, I've had lots of knee problems in the past. Icing does help some, usually. The things that help me the most are - strengthening and stretching the quads, new running shoes, staying on softer surfaces for a while and backing off of the mileage for a little while (1-2 weeks). I've never gotten over knee problems by stopping running altogether. I find that, once the knees start to improve I can pretty much proceed normally with training and they will eventually get all the way better.
congrats on the nationals and season performance! I ran for PLU a number of years ago, back when PLU and WWU were in the NAIA.

Thanks for the tips! I do need to get new running shoes... I've also been told I have weak hips, and I've been lazy about my strengthening exercises.
