Ugh I'm upset

[meggers5]

I was signed up for a half marathon in May. A few weeks before the race I was have sharp twinges of pain in my knee when I ran. I figured it's better to be safe than sorry and my dad ran in my place.

My knee has been great all summer. I've been able to run no problem. Now 2 weeks I have another half marathon, I was out for a run and had the same pain. My mom had to come pick me up.

I'm really upset. I'll go the doctor but I don't know if I'll be able to run. I want to so badly, I've been preparing for it, it's paid for, and it's something my dad and I were going to do together. 

I'll be so disappointed if I can't do it, and right now it isn't looking good. 

I need hair pats

I'm sorry. I hope your knee feels better soon. Hair pets and snicker doodles.

Booo, I'm sorry.
I have a race in 3 weeks, and I've been slowly coming back from an injured knee (since last October). I'm nervous.

I'm sorry

I was injured before what was supposed to be my first half as well. You'll do it eventually!

Google IT band and knee pain, and see if that describes what you are feeling. If so, get yourself a foam roller and start youtubing IT band stretches.

This is the worst. I'm so sorry. Hopefully some stretching and rest will help!
