I've had two lovely longs walks following my run #13. My knee feels fine. Todays walk was 3 hours. My knee felt a little bit tingly but nothing really.
So I shall continue with my plan to try and run on Thursday. I'm not sure if I'm going to go for the full 3.4 miles. My feeling is I'd like to try run it again but more slowly. See how it goes. If it goes again, does it go a little bit later than last time? These are interesting questions.
I'm hoping to learn something new about this old knee problem. Its not joint but perhaps this Iliotibial Band (ITB) Runners Knee. I found a good article on it and some exercises for the problem at http://bit.ly/9YC3X6
On my walk today it was great to see my wife take off her shoes on the way back and enjoy the grass. She was even keen to test the feel on the concrete path as well. We even squeezed in a tiny barefoot run. I stopped though because I need to rest my knee.
Looking at the exercises given. I'm wondering whether going to one of these taibo classes or body combat might strengthen up the area that supports the Iliotibial Band.
