New Runner by andsammic

I did not mean to stay away so long but work and life got in the way.  Have kept busy running and training.  Was doing great and on target until Valentaines Weekend and the Strawplains 10K when I went out faster than MY usual pace and did great for my by almost 2min/mile but unfortunately injured my knee that has sidelined me.  The MRI revealed no apparent tear in the meniscus but lots of inflammation and an extreme case of runners knee and after two rounds of steroids I am still in pain and unable to run.  I have been hitting the gym and using the bike to try and stay in shape but it is not the same.  I am still determined to at least walk the 1/2 marathon but it will not be the same as running my first 1/2 marathon.  It is still two weeks away and maybe it will heal a little more.  Keep running!!
