Another set-back: Just 25 miles in total this week in 4 runs, because I have a sore knee cap - a problem experience tells me is unlikely to disappear quickly.
I've had this 4 or 5 times in the past 4 years: Its caused by cramping (Lyme related) and shortening of my quads which alters patella tracking and irritates the cartiladge. Its fixed by lots of quads massage along with hip and quad strengthening exercises. In the past it has taken between 3 weeks and 4 months to get back to running.
Very frustrating - yet again I've travelled the route from anger to sadness to acceptace that this is just how it is. Now, it boils down again to my choice, either to give it up or to give it 100% one more time, and I can't answer this until I see how long it takes to heal.
