I decided to try running again this morning and made it about 10 steps.  BLAH!!!!!!!  It doesn't hurt just walking or moving around, but shortly after my first step, I knew I wasn't going far. 

It is a weird injury.  I can't even explain it.  It is above my knee, but not my quad muscle, I have hurt that muscle before.  It feels like the inside of my knee -- weird.

I have been exercising for about and hour at night and in the morning, just toning and weights and stuff.  It doesn't hurt doing squats or any of the other exercises I do.  Not good!!!!
