Patellofemeral Pain Syndrome....ugh...

So that was the result of the visit to the doctor about the right knee pain that I've been dealing with for the past three weeks.  Come to find out it's not a great idea to train only on the treadmill.  Duh!  I KNEW that but refused to actually do something about it.  When Camilla J. and I went on our 6.4 mile run at the end of Christmas break my knees weren't ready for the uneven hard asphalt.  Bummer.  At least there's no obvious damage to the meniscus (my worry).  A little rest, some ice and ibuprofen will take care of it.  I haven't run much at all this week.  My runs ended up being walks mostly.  Wow is it hard to just take it easy.  I laugh at myself when I think about how hard it is to not go full throttle during my workouts.  For the more part of a decade you couldn't get me off the couch to do anything active.  I like my current problem a lot more!  Keep on truckin'!!!!
