Knee pain still here, havent ran since Saturday, so I bit the bullet and went to the doctor to find out what I could do to get a gait analysis done. Running used to be a painfree activity for me 2 years ago, then at some point I fractured my left foot and was out of running for a few months. Then when I returned to it, shin splints haunted me the entire year, extremely painful ones. Even up until January I was experiencing those fuckers, and it really delayed my progress. But they went away, and now that I was putting the heat on it to catch up I get knee pain.
All this tells me that Im just not running right. My form is great, I have bought books and filmed myself and compared it. But I have a feeling that something is up with my foot position, and its time to stop looking on the internet for answers and just get a sports analysis on it. After all, Ive got to get up to 50-60 miles a week, if there is a flaw then it needs to be identified now.
So my doctor has to write a script for me to go see the Physical Therapy people, he wont be in till Tuesday. I called my recruiter, and quite ashamedly told him the situation. There is no real way to do that without sounding like a pussy. Considering my failure on the last test, I have a feeling these guys are starting to think Im already a washout. Doesnt bother me at all, my mind is as focused as it gets, my body just needs to learn to cooperate.
We'll get there.
