2012 St. George Marathon 2:54:39 Long-Term Running Goals: I love to run! I want to feel good and run for a very long time. Personal: My husband Brent and I live in Orem with our three kids ages 12, 10 & 7. Brent is a Marriage and Family Therapist and I'm at home with the kids. I used to be a CPA, but now I just do a little bookkeeping from home. For a lot of years running a marathon was something I did to get back in shape after having a baby. Just finishing was accomplishment enough, now I want to finish faster.
I ran the St. George Marathon in 3:18 when I was 18 and set a record for my age division 15-18. Now I train with the girl who broke my record. I love the marathon and half marathon. Long runs are what keep me from going crazy. Favorite Blogs: |

| Met Marie, Desiree, Rebecca, Melody, Amanda and Catherine for a run. I ended up with 7 total, about 5 with them. My knee still hurts every step I take, but after I got going I didn't notice it as much because of the conversation. Avg 7:33 (couple of 7's but mostly 7:45's) | | Add Comment |

| I keep thinking any day my knee will feel better. I got all ready for a 10 mile run, cell phone, gel, hat, water, etc. and about 1 mile into it decided I should only go 4. It's very frustrating. I don't have a lot of visible swelling, but there is some swelling right at the base of my knee cap, and a hint of black and blue. I think I'm bruised under my knee cap. It doesn't hurt when I land on my leg, but bending/lifting my leg after each step causes pain. | | Comments(2) |

| I'm so frustrated with my knee. Running doesn't seem to make it hurt any more, but it hurts when I run, or walk or just about anything else for that matter. I can't bend my knee all the way as that causes a lot of pain. It's tender to the touch all around the joint, but the main concentration of pain is in the lower inside part of my knee just below the knee cap. I still have a little visible swelling here. I ran 6 miles on some hills and it hurt a lot worse going down than up. I've massaged my quad and hamstrings and around the knee to try to loosen things up. I'm doing hot/cold/hot/cold each night. Maybe it just needs more time. I hope I didn't tear something. Any insight anyone? | | Comments(3) |

I ran 5 miles with Marie today. She had a baby in Feb and is still getting back into it. I think she's in better shape than she thinks she is because we ran avg 7:13 pace.
Still pain in the knee. I saw Dr. Pratt today. He thinks I bruised my patella and everything else it smacked into when my knee hit the ground. He thinks I have small tears in the tendons around the patella. This can take weeks and even months to completely heal from. By the placement and severity of the pain / swelling he doesn't think I broke bone or tore cartilage etc. If I don't feel continued improvement he'll do an x-ray in 2 or 3 weeks. If it's getting better than I'll just keep getting better, but it may take a long time. | | Comments(1) |
