SORE!!!!!!!

UPDATE:
My knee is still sore and it still hurts when I run but after talking to Sergeant he said that it should go away with time! We will see!

UPDATE:
So, Google is my best friend on the face of the planet!! I have used it to find family member addresses so when I go to basic I can write people as well as used it for a 10 page paper that I had to write the last week of school. I love google! I googled: "My Knee Hurts When I Run." I found the answer to my problem just like I have with everything else! My self diagnosis states that chances are I have developed "Runners Knee." Nothing causes it it just happens with as much running as I have been doing after being inactive for a long time I have strained my knee. It isn't anything serious it just leads to soreness, I may be able to get over it in time or it may be with me the rest of my life. What the article said is that if you strengthen the inner thigh muscles then it will take the stress off the knee cap while running and the pain will subside. Bandages or wraps are out of the question considering they put pressure on the knee cap which is what is bothering me. Runners Knee is when the knee cap begins in rub against bone and wears down on the cartilage between it, it is caused because the way runners tend to land when taking strides. The knee doesn't move in the proper V movement like it should and causes wear and tear! There is at home exercises I can do with elastic bands and I'm going work on it and see if it improves for the mean time I have to learn to push through it!

Howdy.

Who knew you could get so darn so from running?! My entire body is aching right now and screaming at me not to move. The more I more I work-out the tension and it feels better.

Yesterday was running as I previously mentioned and I did good. I ran in the proper form (head up, shoulders back, arms at 90 degree angle to the sides {like using ski poles}, bouncing off of left foot first with heel, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth). Who would have thought that running in proper form would cause so much PAIN?! I didn't. It did make it easier to run though.

I attempted to run a little bit today and I have a goal to make myself go back out later and run some more but my right knee is killing me!!! It was fine this morning but about the time I got up and started getting prepared it started aching, it has gotten worse and worse as the day has progressed. Yesterday while running I felt like it was going give out on me and I was going collapse but I worked through it. I don't know what happened or why but I'm going try and push through it! I just pray nothing serious is wrong!

What I did run I ran for farther than yesterday without stopping and I know I could have gone farther if I could have handled the pain (yes mom, I know I'm a baby!).

Everyday and every little thing counts and slowly but surely I am making progress. On Monday morning I have an appointment with a personal trainer, I doubt I will be able to talk my mom into hiring me them but they offer one free session and I'm taking it. I'm excited because the guy is a Second Lieutenant in the Army and is the PT Champion and leader so I am sure I will be getting my butt kicked!!! I'm looking forward to it and so is the trainer!

I'm gonna go, have a lot to do today!
