my aching knees

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 – 298 days to M day. I didn’t run last night. My knees were hurting, bad.
I took a couple of pills and went to sleep early. When I woke this morning and my feet hit the floor, not too much pain, I went to the mill. I jogged for 2 miles at 4.5, incline 1, walked for 1 minute and jogged for another 2 miles at 4.5, 1 incline. The first 2 miles were easier than the last mile. My resting heart rate was 88 and I got it to 166, which for my age, is about the max. My average heart rate was 155, about 750 calories. My knees started hurting at 2.5 miles and right now are killing me. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I have an ortho doc appt on Monday for a possible cortisone injection, but I don’t want to mention the other knee. Maybe, it will start to feel better after a while.
