Knee, Other

2008-07-29 – 2008-11-03

Grade: 3

Legs and knees hurt after the Mt. Hood 50 miler, but felt better so I went for a run on July 29th (3 days after the 50 miler) and half way through the run my knee started to hurt. Since this time my knees hurt, at times one more than the other. They hurt at times when I was just sitting eating dinner at the table and had not run in a day or two.

All I did was rest and not run. The human body is an awesome machine and can heal itself if you let it. I did continue to bike to and from work 5 miles each way. I stopped logging my bike commutes because it was the same thing everyday and that is all the physical activity I was doing. After taking an extended break I am back running now and my knees feel pretty good.
