AM: 2 miles - Knee felt ok until the last .25 as it started to ache and get tender.

PM:  Bike ride in 45 degree weather.  Not too bad.  I rode up to the top of Hollow Road and back.  Leg felt great.  It was a bit shaky when I got home as I was pushing it a bit.  Also noted that I should have worn gloves, brr... 

Out in 25:30 Back in 19:50.  45:20 Total - 19.5mph ave 14.75 miles - 200' vert. (Count as 4.5 miles X-train)

AM: 3 Miles Deer Fence - Knee hurt bad on the downhill, but was fine on the uphills.

T- 28:00 (9:17) 550' Vert

PM: Only managed 1 mile on the treadmill before the pain was limiting.  I called an orthopedic doctor today and got an appointment for Friday.  Getting tired of this.  Want to make sure it is only IT band inflammation over the knee and not something worse.

2.5 Miles to make sure things good and hurt before going to the doctor.  Not sure if that was a good idea or necessary.  I went to Alpine Orthopedic Specialists who specialize in many things including sports injuries.  I figured it would be a good idea to see an actual doctor about my self diagnosed IT band injury.  I think it was a good idea as he was a runner too so could co-miserate with me. 

Turns out I was right with my diagnosis.  IT band tendonitis.  He said I have been doing many things right.  Stretching, icing, massage.  He gave me a localized shot to help reduce the inflammation.  He also said I need to do a steady cycle of Ibprofen to reduce the inflammation.  That and a few days of rest and things should improve.  Or so he claims.  Maybe the localized shot really will help, but right now it aches pretty good.  So, ice, rest, anti-inflamatory meds, stretch, and not a whole lot more to do, but to wait it out.   If that doesn't work there is some ultrasound and physical therapy I can do, but I am going to wait on that.  Not terribly excited to pay for that. 

Here is my X-ray.  All checked out ok.
