That was a long break without running and significant loss of training time. But I'm back. I've still got some minor pain in my left knee, but not enough to affect my stride, so I consider it to be OK. Ceasing to run seemed to fix the problem. Other than that, I used ice a few times when the pain was more intense. Yesterday morning, when I couldn't even find the pain in my knee, I canceled my Dr appointment. But, I had a little pain before I started running this morning. I don't know what caused the injury other than progressing a little too quickly with the milage. Now I need to ramp back up again. This morning's run was 5.35 miles in 1:05:52, 12:19/mile 125bpm, 130bpm max. I'm feeling good right now.
