Ran on TM at home.  Knee began to buckle on mile 5, so immediately shut things down.

Ran outside in high teens.  Mile 2 knee seemed like it was starting to act up.  Focused on form and leaned back a little in posture.  Felt comfortable through mile 5.  On mile 6 I experimented just a tad- kept upright posture and picked up the pace to 7:10 for maybe a minute or two- no pain.  All downhills are difficult and I'm also having to be careful not to lean forward.  6 miles total at about a 9:45 pace. 

 

4 miles on the TM- knee feels shot.  Think I'll cross-train for the next several weeks until the pain is gone.  Nothing hurts the knee except for running.  Bike, elliptical, all forms of weight training (included 205 sets of 8-10 on free weight squats).  Run 3 miles at 10 min pace- gotta be careful- anything faster or longer begins to hurt.  I'm seeing a doctor on Wednesday (spoke to one in my church on Sunday who basically said stop running- cross-train, stretch, ice, you know the standard response).  Boston's not really looking all that promising right now, but long-term health is my bigger concern at this stage.
