Goal Work: Make friends with pain, and you will never be alone - Ken Chlouber - Colorado miner and creator of the Leadville Trail 100.As many of you know I am having problems with my knee. I gave it a two week running rest, but did a 30 minute fun run on Saturday and a long five mile run on the treadmill yesterday. I used my support shoes, I put on my knee brace, I ran heal to toe rather than trying Chi, and I took an ice bath. My knee is a bit sore today but not as bad as it was a few weeks ago. I don't plan to add my speed or hill work until it improves a bit. I figure this is the year of distance so I am going to concentrate on long slow runs figuring that will be less stressful on my knee than trying to pick up the pace.
One possible side effect of my knee treatment is that I lost another pound today. I am wondering if the ice baths I have taken the last two days have been the trick for that.
I am thinking of taking up my sister's advice and seeing a doctor. No surgery for me but maybe physical therapy will be helpful.
