Martha, you are kicking butt at the C25K thing and Dave and I are the slackers with injuries and not pushing through like you do!! You rock!
Sookie, i was looking into it last night and I think Im going to go with the Maniscus thing too. Stinks because there isnt much you can do about it and I really don't want to make it worse, but I really need to get my run on too! Guess Ill just keep it slow and steady and watch Martha and Dave kick my but at the 5K!

Topic: August Exercise Challenge Week 2
Hi all,
Well even though I have not been feeling the best I have still been exercising. I have had a really good week. I have started the Couch to 5k plan, I went to the gym 3 (yes count them 3) times, and played volleyball in the water, in 6+ inches of muck, which makes it nearly impossible to move!!! Oh and I had to swim quite a distance to get hubby's boat license after we were boarded by marine patrol!!! All total I did 460 minutes.

Pokes,
I have been thinking and I am wondering if you have a slight tear in your meniscus (the cartilage between your leg bones) If it is a large tear it would catch or give out. The pain in the front of the knee could also be a bone spur. but doesn't sound like that . Ice it down can you take NSAIDS? That should help if you can take those. I hope all is well, and I haven't found anyone big enough to make me run lol but with my knee issues running is not a good thing. I am now walking quite a bit at work taking a walk down by the water everyday is great!!!!

Good Boy listening to your foot!! Sometimes you have to do what your body tells you, even if thats not what you want.
I should have listened to my knee, hasnt stopped hurting since that run. I'm getting REALLY paranoid about it!

Yesterday went pretty good for me. Ended up having a pear after dinner; really wanted something for dessert and thats what was calling my name!
Todays plan
Breakfast: Cottage Cheese w/ grapes and almonds
Lunch: Chili
Dinner: Chicken with some veggie
I tried to go for a run last night and failed trumendously, didnt even make it all the way around the block before the knee got the best of me. Tonight it will be the bike at the gym, and maybe try to elliptical.
Dave, good call on the extra protein bar!! That 6 hour spread is NEVER a good thing!!
Martha, I hope you start feeling better soon!! Unhappy tummy for this long can't be fun :(
