injury...

kind of sucks...
since the beginning of the year, i had this nagging pain on the inside part of my right knee. first, i thought it was jst a fatigue pain, or maybe even jst overuse, which is kind of weird to begin with, since i had not trained that hard. but then after about a couple of weeks continuing on, i felt a little worried, therefore went to see a specialist. it turned out it was a minor tendinitis.
ok...so good news and bad news...
it's good that i found out early and it was minor. bad, because that meant i had to laid down on my run. then again, it's the time when i felt the most pain.
so, solution; i went in for 3-4 session of physical therapy for it with the doc gave me some anti-inflammatory. did it help? yes, well...kind of...
after all the session fulfilled and finishing up all the prescribed med, i decided to try different type of shoes. not sure whether this was a good, or bad idea.
so...last thursday, with the very nice warmer weather in the area, after feeling everything seems to be on track with the healing process, i decided to try the new kicks. in the beginning of the run, i thought i felt great. the shoes felt light, i felt light footed, not bulky at all. i felt snazzy, and quite able to go on a faster pace. i was able to do the schedule workout well, even thought it was kind of hard workout and kind of hard with the new kicks.
but then, after the workout, i felt a little pain in the same area of the previously healed area with an addition in other areas of my calf and foot.
at first i thought....ok maybe i was just going to fast, maybe i felt over confident, maybe i pushed too hard.
so let's see....let me rest this for a day, or 2....
