After my 20 mile run on Sunday I knew something was wrong.

The back of my right hurt hurt. Quite badly. It started around mile 15 or so and I just couldn’t shake it. I haven’t run since then and been resting, icing and elevating my leg.

I went to the doctor today and they think I have a mild case of tendonititis and gave some prednisone to help my back (which has been hurting for awhile and maybe what caused this–I feel like I hyper-extended the knee).

He told me to rest it, and if I felt like I wanted to/could run then I could. But it appears this taper is going to be faster/more a taper than I thought it would.

I just want my knee to be okay and my joints to last a long time.

Sigh.

Have a good day friends!
