My knee is STILL in pain! I know exactly what it is, but it has taken longer to get better this time around. I have what is called Patellofemeral Pain Syndrome. It's sometimes caused by training on one surface and competing on another type of surface. My right knee feels like it's going to explode after I have sat in one place for an extended period of time. Also, going down stairs is next to impossible! Hmm.. There are four weeks until Boise and I simply can't run right now. This could make things interesting. I'll get to the start line for sure. The question is, will I need to walk the half marathon. If that happens, I will feel COMPLETELY unfulfilled. Grrr....I'll continue to resist the urge to try and train (run) through it. I'm hoping that Monday things will feel better and I'll be able to ease into some mileage. I just found out today that I made it into LOTOJA this fall! YES! I'm very excited about that. Biking doesn't ever hurt my knees!
We're headed to Camilla and Travis' house this evening. Tomorrow morning Travis, Camilla, Tyla and Brendon will be competing in the Splash and Sprint Triathlon. I'm excited to go as a spectator for once. It'll be fun to watch someone else suffer for once!
