Runner's Blues

Yet another day of friggin' rest. I am still unable to run. This is getting ridiculous. I'm finally motivated to shed excess pounds and get into shape and my knee doesn't feel like cooperating. I really want to just get out there and push it, but the fear of permanently damaging my knee is constantly in the back of my mind. I've now gone to desperate measures. Every night I'm icing my knee down and I've started taking glucosamine. I seemed to have some recovery yesterday as my knee at times felt fine, but at others it felt fairly painful and stiff. The only solace that I have is that my running partners haven't ran in a week either. I just hope that I can overcome this injury and obtain my goal of the 5K in November.
