Ran Today!!!!

Well it was my first run in three weeks and it felt pretty good. My knee was not hurting at all during the run or after so I think that was a good sign. I went 6 miles with three on the "track" and three on the treadmill. For those of you who don't know the "track" is a weird shape that includes two 90 degree turns and one that is probably 120 degrees. Pretty much kicks the shit out of your outer IT Band after awhile. There have been some long runs on there but you pay the price for it the next day. I still think that I hold one of the fastest miles ever run on that track though (5:43 I believe??? Do you remember Lee?)

Right now I think that my leg has gotten significantly weaker due to me favoring it over the last couple of weeks. I have noticed it quite a bit over the last couple of days and even on the run today. I just hope that my favoring it doesn't lead to more problems. As much as I hate the treadmill I think it is all I am going to get at least until I think that this thing is gone.

Anyways I hope it feels alright tomorrow otherwise its back to the drawing board...

The Problem Found

Prepatellar Bursitis. I'm sure that most of you who read this are familiar enough with the human body to know what this is. All that can really be done for it is rest and a strengthening PT program. Running might have to take a bit of a back seat while this heals. The pool is by friend I just have to remember that. It feels a lot better right now but I can tell that my leg is not liking it much being that I have been favoring that leg for so long that my muscles feel out of balance. More to come later. Hopefully only another week with limited to no running and then slowly get back into it.
