Knee update

I went to the pool last week to swim and my knee felt great.  I am not a swimmer but I got a good work out.  It kicked my butt.  I also ran in the pool to see what that would do for my knee. 

 I ran 1.25 slow today and about a mile into my run my knee started to have the same uncomfortable pain, so I stopped.

I felt the same slight pain in my knee about a mile and a half in to my run.  I ran with the pain for another half to see what it would so.  It didn't go away.  I can run with the pain but it doesn't feel right.  I want to run but my knee doesn't want to let me.  What do I do?  I have an appointment to see Dr. Toronto next week and hopefully he can make some sence out of it.

I ran at the Oval today.  I did a mile warm up and then ran 2 more miles.  My knee didn't start to bug me till about mile 2.567.  I did some short pickups but no speed work.

It was a nice day for running.  I didn't have to wear all of the winter gear.  I ran 3/4 of a mile and then streched.  I had a good run.  I flet my knee off and on but it wan't bad.  If any thing it felt tight and not sore.  I ave. about a 8:20 for the 3 miles this morning. 

Appointment with Dr. Tronto tomorrow.

Running update!

I had my appointment with Dr. Tronto this morning.  He took an x-ray of my knee and every thing came back normal.  He examed my knee by puching on in here and there and moving it this way and that way.  When he pushed on my knee where I have pain while running it hurt more than ever.  Go figure.  You puch on a sore spot and it hurts. 

Diagnosis:  patella tendinitis

He is puting my on prednisone and some more rest.  I am to take the rest of the week off and then do a 3-4 miler this weekend.  Then report back to on Monday.  I am happy that it wasn't anything long term and that I will be back to running soon.

Knee Test # 1

Went running at 4:00 pm and ran about the same route I did the day before my Dr. appointment.  I started out at a nice and easy pace about 8:10.  My body wanted to run faster but my lungs said "No Way"!  I felt a little winded but I know that it from the lack of training I haven't been able to do.  At about mile 2.5 I felt a slight twings in my knee but not much.  A the end of the 3 mile run I felt good.  I feel I am on the right track to recovery. 

Test successful  :)

Knee test #2

I ran with a group of friends in Sugerhouse park.  It was a cold morning so I don't know if it was my knee in pain or just really cold.  But I felt great.

It was a great day to run but not that great for the knee.  I felt great up untill about 3.7 and then I felt my knee.  It wasn't too bad but I was hopein to feel nothing at all.

Ran with locomotion this morning in Kearns.  At mile 1.25 my knee started to hurt.  So I turned around and went home.
