Oh no! I am hoping for the best for you. Don't give up. We are cheering you on towards a better tomorrow.
PlutoBaby - hope your knee is doing better. With the sudden onset, is it IT band related? Regardless, I know how frustrating it is!
Saturday 3/2 - 60 minutes misc.
Sunday 3/3 - 60 minutes yoga
Total 120/1000
This going to be a lot harder than I thought, plus on weekends I tend to talk myself out of doing any exercise! Hopefully this thread will give me some motivation for weekend workouts
30 minutes/ 2964 steps on the wii fit
40 minutes dancing to pandora and my music play list
70/1000
30 minutes jogging from zombies on the treadmill
430/1250
I ended up walking more of the next 5 miles than running. I tried to just grit my teeth and get through running a quarter mile at a time, and the knee almost gave out more than once. By the time I got home, DH was waiting for me and I burst into tears! I think the possibility of being able to complete a full marathon just isn't going to happen. Now I'm worried because I have a 10k this weekend and a Half at the end of March. Hopefully when I go to PT Tuesday night, the news won't be so bad.

I have dealt with itbs in both legs. Try some yoga to stretch out your back before running. Foam roller the tender spots. If it hurts like a hammer pounding the outside of your knee while running STOP. You cannot run through it (believe me, I have tried.) I have heard you can do intervals and if it doesn't hurt to walk, then you can keep running through mild pain, but honestly, if it is hurting I would stop and deal with it before it becomes a chronic problem. It is fixable.I think it is as it's the same darn pain I had in my right knee last year, and it DID turn out to be my IT band. But in BOTH knees?!? Geesh!!!
What did you eat? How long have you been g-f? I totally empathize because being glutened is the pits.I'm the same way... I'm sick again (gluten) so this morning I woke up and the gym just was not going to happen. But knowing that if I don't show up for practice, the game won't go so well, has been helpful. Also I hate writing "0" in my log on this thread soooooo I will hopefully get some exercise in tonight.
Glad you are up and moving about!Found a really cool chair cardio workout. They recommended 3-6 rounds, I was barely able to manage 2!
Cardio - 10
Stretch - 8
Strength (upper body) 10
Brings me to

Was planning on getting in a 15 miler Saturday. About 6 miles into it, my "good" knee decided it was jealous of the bad one and started acting up. BAD! I ended up walking more of the next 5 miles than running. I tried to just grit my teeth and get through running a quarter mile at a time, and the knee almost gave out more than once. By the time I got home, DH was waiting for me and I burst into tears! I think the possibility of being able to complete a full marathon just isn't going to happen.
