I got a new knee brace from the dr yesterday. It is supposed to make it so my patella doesn't slide around. Hopefully the sore spot on my knee will get all better.
I ran 3 miles today and it didn't hurt for the first time in months. I didn't go too fast. My daughter came with me on her bike, and I had to keep stopping for her to catch back up with me. Next time its just gonna be me and the Ipod.
The knee brace chafed the other leg though. Now I have a really sore spot that is almost bleeding. And my daughter told me that I looked handicapped wearing the knee brace. It is very bulky.
I am excited to run, even if it means wearing a knee brace for a while. The last decent run I had was the Ogden 1/2 Marathon in May, and that's been a long time. |
