e_julianaI didn't make my 4 mile run this past Thursday.
I didn't make my 10 mile run this past weekend.
I covered 4 miles yesterday, but 1.5 of it was walking.
I didn't make the 4 miles or 10 miles today.
Instead, each time except yesterday, I made it about 1.5 miles before I gave out. Saturday, it was PMS-induced exhaustion. Thursday, it was my knee. Today, it was my knee.
Today, I called the doctor. She saw me within the hour, and I have an appointment to go to PT starting tomorrow morning. Other than the embarrassment of having been there before for a different issue almost two years ago and abruptly discontinuing treatment, this is a good thing.
Doc thinks it's related to my iliotibial band problems. I think it's a combination of the ITB & general knee degradation. We'll see what the PT says. I just want to run. I really want to run the marathon, but I want to run more. I'm tired of running making me hurt. I'm tired of not being able to bike. Two of my three sanity-making things are insane-making right now. How fun is that?
