It's been over a week since I have run.  The knee still isn't feeling any better but I wanted to try and run anyway.  Took my little girl down to the JRP to ride her bike, there was no way I could keep up.  I probably ran 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile and walked the rest.  Several times my knee gave out on me.  I can't seem to get the swelling to go away and I can't straighten or bend it all the way either.  This really stinks.  I'm soooo discouraged.

Attempted to run again today.  The knee doesn't seem to be getting any better.  I've scheduled an appointment with the Doc.  I hope I can get this thing figured out, I'd still like to run Hobblecreek and St. George.  I'm not sure though that its going to happen :(  No more running until I see the Doc on Wed.
