Hello,
I finally decided it was time to start blogging about running, seeing as it is the cool thing to do these days.
After having a good off-season I started 2009 strong with a solid 29:28 at the Pioneer 8K, and then a new personal best of 37:07 at the Cobble Hill 10K in January. But after that it went downhill. I didn't take enough time off after Cobble Hill with back to back speed and hill workouts all on pavement (and a bit of indoor soccer too) and then my right knee decided that it had enough. The pain was felt right under and around the knee cap. I took a few days off and lots of icing hoping it would go away but it didn't. So back to the Chiropractor I went (I see Rob Hasegawa at the Cedar Hill Sports Therapy in the Tuscany Village, who I'd highly recommend to anyone with running problems) and as I feared I had a bad case of Runner's Knee. So that was early February, and since then it's been a slow recovery - lots of icing, stretching, yoga, and not much running. Well okay, maybe not "lots", but some. But I think I'm finally seeing some improvement. Interestingly I have no problems running on the track, but as soon as I run on the road it hurts again.
I'll be adding more content as the weeks go by and my training starts up again.
Also check out all the other running blogs that I've listed on the right.

I like the stats widgets you put in. I'll have to check those out.
ReplyDeleteI track all my runs in an online running log that I wrote a few years ago, and so it was really simple to expose all my stats as a widget. Feel free to try out my running log (click the "RunningLog" link at the top of the widget). It's designed for me of course, so it might not meet everyone's needs!
ReplyDeleteYa Baby. Love it. Party on.
