I just saw this and I'm glad you're following along. I'm running my first (and second) 5k's this weekend and am proud to admit that I finally love running. And that I'm no longer a couch potato :) I definitely agree that other people's running stories are what motivate me to keep going, even on some of the bad days. Thanks again!

I think it's "Iliotibial band syndrome"... maybe the same problem you have? Every time I get the mileage up, or if increase too fast it will act up. Went to the Dr. a couple years ago and he basically said i need to not run everyday and do other things (like swim)... And, well... he's probably right. Anyway, I find it really helps the knee to do some strength training on off days. Those walking lunge things are easy to do anywhere and seem to help me a lot. Happy Running!!
