Well, all I had to do was run 3 miles tonight and I couldn't do it. When I got to 1.75 my left knee hurt so bad I had to stop. I iced it down for about an hour afterward but it still hurts pretty bad. This could be a nasty setback. Since this is an "easy" week I'll have to see how it goes on Thursday and then again on Sunday, planning to stop early again if it's still hurting. Hopefully it will be better by the time I pick up the miles again next week.
The pain is in the area of my patellar tendon and on the outside of the knee. From what I've read, it still sounds like an IT band problem and I'll be keeping an eye on it and working on some IT stretches for the next week or more.

ICE-ICE BABY - Take care of that knee. Take the night off if you can. Really, missing one run will not hurt your progress but a major injury could. I ran Tuesday night for the first time in a week and felt pretty good. The sciatic nerve bugged me pretty bad abount half hour afterwards so I'm taking it easy again. I have even been icing and heating and stretching. Hopefully it's minor and this will pass quicklu for you. There's lot's of time left so be careful!!
