Diagnosis

Monday we went to the gym and i tried running on the treadmill, thinking, hey its softer it will help my run/knee pain. Nope.

So i went to DH's physical therapist and though my pain isn't enough to conclude a total diagnosis, it appears that my miniscus may be getting pinched and the pounding of running makes it angry. Not enough pain during day to day activities to require action. yet.

For the next two weeks i am to either do nothing or try the elliptical/bike for cardio. Not gonna lie, this does not help my motivation.

I am optimitistic however that if i just take it easy (and try not to get upset that my deadline for my goal of 200 miles is like 70 days or so away is fast approaching), that my knee will calm itself down and i will be running again before i know it.

I do have to say, that DH was SURE it was my IT band. Love him dearly, but i didn't think it was and its not. :p

I have run a whole 7.5 miles this month. eeeee
