I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born. I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband. My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

ran 3. left knee hurt first mile. Sucked wind the next two miles. at the start of mile 4 the right knee gave out entirely with pain. I tried running a few times after walking a ways, but the pain returned. By the time I got home, the knee was bothered by walking. I have a dr appt today. I pretty much want to quit. I have had it. On the brighter side, my back is really doing much better over all. I feel like it is finally really healing :) I am so mad right now I could spit nails, but since I hate the taste of nails, I'm just going to settle for crying.

** Dr update- Brady said that the knees are not serious and will be fine :) He beat them up and then did acupuncture with some homeopathic drugs. He says I can run on Fri or sat and that next week I can add one more day. He popped my "drama" balloon :) I am glad. I go back next week. Oh, the diagnosis for the right knee, weak hammies. He gave me some torture-esque exercises to do with the yoga ball to strengthen the hamstrings. I guess all of this time off made my hammies wimps. Diagnosis for the left knee... since the pain is exactly where the bruise was from the accident, it is probably just some latent injury that is chiming in as my miles go up. He thinks he's got it covered. We shall see. I need more faith and patience.
