An early 2009 update:
- Week before Houston Half Marathon - Left knee starts hurting.
- Middle of the race - Hurts so much I have to stop, but hey, at least it's warm down there.
- After the race - Find out both patellas don't track correctly, causing inflammation and pain, and they're "knobby," according to the trainer. Hmm, so maybe I didn't just have unlucky cases of patella tendonitis every single year while I was in college, there actually was a biomechanic reason for my pain. Amazing.
- End of January/beginning of February - Lots of quad and hamstring exercises and stretches.
- End of January/beginning of February - HORRIBLE WEATHER, but Dani and I made it through anyway (see pictures).
- End of January/beginning of February - Work is insane, can't see the bottom of my desk anymore.
- Middle of February - If your knees ever ache uncontrollably and you have high arches, try the Superfeet Green inserts. Amazing.
- Middle/end of February - Training coming along, over 80 miles per week now. Dreaming of warm weather in Jacksonville at the Gate River Run on March 14, and then in South Carolina when Dani and I take a little Team Indiana Elite - Women road trip.
Happy trails to you, until we meet again...
