Mud's Journal - March 28th, 2009

Well, I felt fine the day after Havasu.  I continued to feel fine till I went for a run on Wednesday.  After a mile my left knee hurt a bit.  At three miles I stopped to try and stretch it.  After four I had to stop completely and hobble the last mile back to the car.  I was in alot of pain and couldn't walk.  I iced it and took it easy for the next few days.  Now it just feels a bit tender and reminds me that it's not completely happy when I go up or down stairs.

The problem with this is that I wanted to run the Bataan Death March tomorrow.  It was going to be my first half-marathon.  I'm not so sure that's a good idea right now.  The plan is to try and run a mile later today and see how it feels.  I'll use that to decide if I run tomorrow, walk it, or skip it all together.

So we'll see, won't we?
