Out

Grrr, I am so bummed right now because my knee has been hurting for a week now. I called one of my friends who is an athletic trainer and told her what was going on. She told me what she thought it was and I figure it was the same thing, patella tendinitis or jumper's knee. I had the first year I started running and I just wore a strap and it worked. My friend told me what I should do and to lay off it for 3 days so I didn't run, walk, or ride my bike for 3 days and it still hurts! It hurts to walk sometimes and it really hurts to straighten my leg out. I figured I would try to run on it and that was a HUGE mistake. I had a hard time and I seriously wanted to cry it hurt so bad. I told Brandon I think it's something more than that and I talked to my friend and she thinks it something different now. I may have a piece of cartilage floating around in my knee, which means I may have to get a scope. At least it's not like a serious surgery so I'm ok with that. I just want my knee to feel better so that I can run again. I guess that is what I get for trying to run with good form. This stinks because I was looking forward to running a 1/2 marathon on Halloween and getting all dressed up. I guess I gotta figure out what to do for working out now. This comes at the worst time-holidays.
