Training Day 13 -- injury healing !

 Mood : good

Weather: Nice and sunny ... 64 degrees

Terrain/ location: Town Lake Park

Notes:  my pants kept falling down while I was running (I got a new pair and they are low on the waist)  I also kept wishing I would run more and walk less with all the skinny runners zooming past me !  But all in all it was nice to have different scenery than my wall when I am on my treadmill !!

Injury Day 3 Workout

ran 2.03 mi on 9/22/2009 at 7:35 PM with a pace of 14'24"/mi 

 Treadmill -- not too bad -- but my knees are a little sore, I didn't get to do the yoga after I had to go pick up the son from Band practice!

I don't like running soo late.... I would rather run in the morning and have my evenings to watch TV or read.

Injury Day 2 workout

ran 1.35 mi on 9/21/2009 at 11:18 AM with a pace of 16'40"/mi 

Today I did my first part on the treadmill with an incline of 5 ... hoping to help strengthen the muscles in my knees and legs.  The last little bit I was able to run without my knees hurting as bad as they did yesterday.... I guess I have to go little at a time.....

Injury day 1 workout

Me and the kids went and played a little Tennis... well, my knees hurt soo bad that all I did was hit the balls that came to me.. :)  Then we went to walk around the track... I tried to run a little at a slow pace, but couldn't do it... I was able to walk a mile ... I guess it's a start... I iced my knee when we got home and took some Motrin.  This morning it feels much better... thinking about a little cross training ...swimming!!

ran 1.09 mi on 9/20/2009 at 5:30 PM with a pace of 17'07"/mi

Injury.. :(

After yesterday's run I was in soo much pain!  My knees were really hurting.. both of them .. and in the same place !!!  I did some research and asked around and it appears to be tendinitis  While I was looking for information on it, I realized a BIG mistake I made.  When I started running, I started running!!  I didn't slow myself into it.  I mean, I did walk a few days... but then right into running.  I actually got upset when I was reading that I would need to rest.  I NEVER thought I would be someone who would be upset that I couldn't run... I think it is becoming an addiction ... a good one at least!!

Here is my tentative plan... I am going to go to the DR and make sure that is what it is. I am going to have today be my OFF day.. (why am I sad about this).  I am going to ice my knees and take Motrin... and pray I can start running before I have too many rest days.. cause I am afraid I will fall back into my no exercise rut.
