Uh oh...My knee is done. I cant even run on it anymore. Today's workout was going great. I felt fine during my first 2 mile repeats, even the 3rd one was good (splits: 5:33, 5:32, &5:35). On that 3rd and last one, my knee really started hurting. I finished the repeat and began my cool down. However, on the cool down, I couldn't run without intense pain on the outside of my left knee. I had to walk home. Each time I tried to jog, it hurt bad. I am out of action for the next 2 days indefinitely and most likely the weekend, which sucks because I had a special 5k race planned which I was running for a kid in my fiance's family who has cerebral palsey, not much I can do if I cant even run though. Very depressing day for sure, and Im not happy about how things transpired. I hope its just minor ITBS and not a ligament tear or something. A doctor visit is in my future i think. Hopefully it'll heal wiht some rest and ice. |
