I CAN RUN THE MARATHON!!
My worst fear was going in there and having him tell me my knees were too out of whack to run, but low and behold God really does love me, and with a little therapy, they should be good as new soon. I know I'm not going to be pain free during that 26.2 miles, but the good news is....its only a tracking problem so as far as the doctor is concerned the tendons and ligaments seem to be in great shape. As for what set the pain off exactly, he doesn't know. I'm just going to have to strengthen the inside of my quad so my knee cap starts to move straight up and down instead of off to the side. For now, I have new inserts for my tennis-shoes and a knee brace to wear for the time being, so hopefully they'll be ready to go in 23 days. Until then, its time to get my head in the game and pick back up from where I left off and prepare myself for my 20 mile run next saturday!! But for now, its time to get back out on the pavement.
