Admittedly there have been some increases in mileage and a little more speed work recently, but I think it was mostly due to Friday's run on cambered surfaces. The pavement was already super-heated and I was trying to keep Miles (my canine running partner) on the grass so I ran in the gutter a lot. It wasn't until the next morning that I really felt the pain and noticed the swelling around my right knee.
So far I have been using the frozen bags of peas and corn, ace bandage, Ibuprofen and elevated leg therapy. It's not the pain or injury so much, it's the stopping that really hurts.
