L Knee, Other
2008-03-28 – 2009-01-02
Grade: 4
The injury seemed to start after the Patuxent meet almost 3 weeks ago. It subsided, then resurfaced after my run in Rosaryville. With increased miles, at quicker paces than I'd been running, it got worse during the week but hadn't been an issue while I had been running.
The pain is on the lower part of the left knee, on the right side, (between the legs). I may have been running too fast, too early, without the muscles along the knee building up enough first. My guess is that this will be a longer recovery, limiting me to lighter running.
Surgery last summer improved my knee but it's not what it used to be and may never get there again. It's okay most of the time so I'll start calling this level of usefulness healthy.
