I've been feeling some pain around my left knee since I restarted training, but it only hurts when I'm walking slowly or standing for long periods of time. It doesn't hurt when I run or walk briskly and especially when I wear my dorky knee strap. This week I missed my Thursday run in fear of making my knee worse so I went to the doctor and it turns out I have patellar tendonitis aka runner's/jumper's knee. Soo...weren't my knee straps I've been wearing a preventative for this? Oh well...at least the straps help now. The doctor prescribed 2 weeks of anti-inflammatories on top of doing rehab exercises at home and wearing my knee strap all the time. Oh joy........
Today I somehow did something while running to inflict lower back pain on myself. I have no idea what happened, but I really feel old.....I should have run this marathon like five years ago...
