No run. I went and saw Dr. Matt Poulsen at his Draper location today and he gave me a cortisone shot. We're hoping that I can resume some light running late next week. We feared it may be a meniscus tear at first, but after examining my knee he thinks it's most likely IT Band Syndrome, although the meniscus was a little swollen as well and there's still a small chance it's the culprit. But for now we held off on an MRI and I'll do lots of stretching (boo), rolling (boo), icing, resting, etc. If after a week and a half I haven't seen any improvement we'll do the MRI and check for a tear. But it's not the same knee injury I had all of Feb and into the marathon. That (what I assume was tendonitits) was inner knee and is gone gone gone, not to mention is was much much less painful than this. This new pain started two weeks ago 15 miles into a run with a step where my knee gave out/buckled.
Matt is a great guy and a very professional doctor. I'd recommend him to anyone on here who needs similar help. It's always nice to see someone who knows how much you train and what makes you tick as a runner when you get injured, someone who thinks like you. Thanks again Matt.
So short-term goal is to limit ice cream intake from injury depression as much as possible so as to not gain too much weight.
