Went to the Doc. this morning, they took X-rays and found out I have very healthy knees. He said my knees have many more miles left in them. He also said I have Pes Anserine Tendonitis, which is the swollen ham sting tendons that rap around the inside of your knee. He gave me some stretches to lenghten out the tendons and told me to start running 2-3 times a week with a long run going from this Satuday of 8 miles to next Saturday of 12, then 16.
He gave me a perscription for Prednisone if strechting and icing don't do the trick. I'm suppose to call in and tell him how todays run went and continue to call in weekly. I should have gone in earlier but I was so busy and I thought it would go away on its own.
SGM here I come!
Noon run, sunny temp 75'
It felt great to run again and dream of running a marathon. The tendons did ache but not bad enough to stop the run.
Time 40:00, Mile avg. 8:00
