So I decided to finally bite the bullet and see the trainer about my knee after hobbling around all of last night, dreading the possibility of having to go up or down the stairs one more time. Suzi says my patellar tendon is likely agitated, so I need to cross train for two or three days, ice, and take Ibuprofin(cringe). I am allowed to run again once it no longer hurts going up and down stairs.

I biked on a spinner today and Pual Curtiss was nice enough to stand there and talk to me for almost the entire time about track season, jobs, religion, and summer training. Because I am so pittifully out of shape, I biked for 90 minutes instead of just an hour. There's no way I could have mentally handled it if Paul didn't stay there (thank you Paul). My knee felt oddly better afterward and I left feeling optimistic that I will be able to run in a couple days, although I am in pretty terrible shape, so it'll be a rough week or so.
