I had a fracture in my tibia 2 years ago. The pain got better but never fully went away. It got to the point that it hurt whether I laid or did something so I decided to do something.
I've been trying to train to get to a faster race pace and may have gone too fast too soon. :-( It makes me sad because I feel GREAT running fast but my knee does not like it. My knee has been killing me. Since the last week I cut out my training fast the pain has mostly subsided (back to the normal level of pain). I really want to cry because I WANT to get faster. It feels so good to run fast and make your own breeze instead of relying on a fan or the wind.
I also started looking for new kicks. I am going to try the New Balance Minimus because I hear they are great for knee pain. Eventually, if the Minimus works, I think I'll try 5 Fingers.
This is the minimus
This is the Five Fingers Bikila I couldn't find the sneakers I wanted at either Dick's or Finish Line. I wish we had a running store nearby.
Wish me luck at the orthopedist!
