It is official, I have what is known in normal people speak as Runner's Knee.
Seeing my orthopedist was nice today. He was so surprised and proud of me for all the progress I have made over the years. I had to explain to him my last half and the pain I had encountered. His look of amazement that I had done a half was great, but then telling him that it was my sixth half was even better. He knew me as the very much more sedentary me. I think of him daily as I am able to do so much now compared to before surgery.
My recovery from this should be easy. Relax another week, but continue to do those exercises I had already begun doing. He gave me a large list of exercises to do, instructions to do them three times daily. And he also have me his blessing that should I not have any continuing issues with the knee in the next few weeks, Seattle Half Marathon is a go. In a week, I can go back out and start walking and jogging as tolerated, but still do those other exercises. I will be ready for the end of November.
I knew it would be nothing serious, but it is nice to be reassured of that.
