For Joggers and Runners

Ugh. At the Rock N Roll Providence Half Marathon last Sunday, I was on my way to PR, and then the course hit this sudden, steep, sharp downhill with a curve, and I felt this pain in my right knee I have never felt before. I had to walk down the hill, and then tried to run again afterwards in a flat section. I made it a while but the hurting came back around mile 10. I had to stop at two medical stations for biofreeze, ice and a quick massage just so I could walk through the last mile and a half. I've been stretching, rolling, etc. like a madman trying to get this better.

Terrified I did something. Seeing the doctor on Monday just to be sure. I am guessing IT band since I felt it in my hip later.

I so cannot get hurt. I am *supposed* to be doing a 18-20 mile long run tomorrow to get ready for next month's races. It may just be a slow shuffle.
