My knee was really bothering me yesterday evening but this morning it feels a lot better.
Yesterday it hurt just to touch it and hurt even worse when I bent it back. The pain is a streching and grinding on the top and front of my kneecap. I'm sure it's just an overuse thing. It came on when I got the bright idea to "catch up" on my milage a couple of weeks ago (I had gotten behind because of my travel and busy schedule).
I would probably drop out of the race on Sunday if I weren't already entered. I'm still going to go into the race to try and beat last year's time.
I don't think I'm going to run any more this week unless I do a mile or so tomorrow just to get a feel for race pace.
Thanks for all your encourgment and advice! |
