HO...HO...OUCH...NO

Today was a heatwave in Chicago; a balmy 44 degree's, so I went for a run outside. It was nice out but cooler by the lake. I started with my normal 3 mile run which I did in my normal time 21:10 minutes. I had to run back to my car and so I turned around and my knee started hurting after the 1st mile back. I kept trying to run, but it hurt and I walked the rest of the way back 2 miles.

I then went to my local sporting goods store and bought two different knee supports. I am not scheduled to run again till Tues and I will test both out and see if either one helps. I hope that I find something to fix this pain. Any suggestion?

This week was hard. I was a total as*hole at work and even missed my holiday party since I have been in such a bad mood about my knee pain. I know its hard for some people to understand, but I like running. I know strange. I have never ran more then was required of me by a coach in high school. Before this new running revelation I hardly ever ran. Today, I want to run and I want a good knee.

All I want for Christmas is for my right knee to stop hurting.
