However, I did complete this Virtual 5K...
... in honor of Nancy. .... Very slow...
I would have ran it yesterday, but I was struggling with flu like symptoms (just the aches and fever) Friday and into Saturday morning that left me in bed for about 19 hours. I was a little too weak to attempt it yesterday.
The Results: The first two miles were good and pain free. And then, it went all down hill from there. The knee just didn't feel right, it started to feel tight. I can't really say it hurt, because it really didn't. It was just very uncomfortable. And I was wearing the knee band as well.
I walked most of the last half mile. It was extremely frustrating.
The knee really only bothers me when I am running. And when I finish and stretch for a bit, the pain/tightness is gone. I doesn't seem to be swelling at all, however I still ice it and take ibuprofen after each run.
The knee has been bothering me for only about a week and a half, but it feels like an eternity.
This is killing me.
I think it's time to face the music and see a specialist.
*sigh*

I'm sorry about your knee. :-(
I agree, you should see someone about it. Something's not right.
I hate to say it, but I don't think you're helping yourself by running on it. I sound like a mom, don't I? ;-)
Sorry about the knee... sounds frustrating! I hope you get it checked out.
I hope you are able to figure out what's wrong! Good luck!
I'm sorry good luck with the specialist.

Bummer about your knee! Getting it checked out is probably the best thing to do.

I hope you're able to figure out the whole knee issue. That would be so frustrating.
Yeah, definitely go see an orthopedist.
I agree. Make an appt. At least then you'll have some information to work with instead of wondering.
