On The Injured List

I went a bit, well full crazy on my run last week.  I ran 2 to 3 km further than I had been doing and also ran more hills than usual, up and down.  In the interest of being honest I also felt knee pain going down the first hill, that should have been my first hint.  This would have been a good time to call it a day.  As if that were not enough I then wore heels and danced etc, perhaps getting a bit carried away at a wedding.  The consequence, pain at my knees so bad it hurt to walk.  I have been resting from running for a week now. I have been working to stretch out my legs, working my core and lifting a few light weights.  I have a 5k race in just over a week. I will try easing back next week and then get into my half marathon training.  Hopefully the road to recovery won't take much longer.  If you have ever had runner's knee, my sympathy.  I should  be careful to not over do it again and get back out there.  When I don't run I am full crazy and not just the half crazy I am when I am running.
