and i'm a little scared. I've got a 1/2 just three weeks away and I've been training forever! (more than 7 months!)
it's the left knee--and it's not really the knee, it's slightly below it, and towards the inner part. i think this is where the quad, ham and calf muscle all intersect.
my guess is tight muscles. last week I did a lousy job of stretching...and during a 70 minute run on Saturday I could feel it tighten up. it hurt yesterday so I just rested all day. today it still is sore so I went ahead and scheduled and appointment with my ortho doc. I'm just nervous because this race is right around the corner and I wanted to "polish off" my training with one more long ride and one more long run. heck, now I'm nervous about just making race day!
if you have any advice, please let me know. I'm so worried!
