recovering

I seem to have picked up a sore knee during the run.  Last week I was feeling pretty good, a little stiff on Monday and Tuesday, but nothing serious.  The only difficulty was my right knee (my left hurt during the actual race).  It is sore on the outside part.  My friend said this is my ITL. I don’t know what that is, but I’ll take his word for now.

It was a bit sore when I was climbing stairs early in the week, but I still managed to play some (very light) ultimate on Wednesday night.  It did hurt when I was throwing, I think because of the twisting.

My goal for the summer is to work on speed.  I went out for a run on Sunday morning at a quick pace.  I decided to run 7k.  I made good time for the first 5, but then the knee started to get sore.  I decided to walk the next kilometer and then see how it felt.  The pain went away quickly when I started to walk, but came back about 500m into the last kilometer.   This isn’t good, but I’m not panicking yet.  I’ll continue to take it easy for the next week before I consider seeing a doctor.  On the positive side, my run was fairly quick.  I did the whole 7 k in about 40minutes.  Considering I walked about 1.5 km I’m pretty pleased.
