Running tally ending Nov 8, 2009

I'm so late posting this. Last week was ok. I had to cut back since my knee was killing me. I ended up needing new SuperFeet inserts, so I got those over the weekend.So far this week the knee pain seems little better. I went to the orthopedic doctor for my on-going hamstring issue, but basically we took an x-ray on my knee and discovered I have a bipartite patella. That basically means that one of my knee caps is two bones. It occurs in 1% of the population. The knee pain is not caused by this, but just from upping my mileage and my body is not used to it. He said the new Superfeet inserts will help and keep my knee aligned.

Below is what I did last week, ending on Sunday.

I ran to the gym, did a little over 4 miles and then ran back. It's 0.6 miles each way to the gym. The treadmills at the gym read too fast since my Nike+ read about 20 second per mile slower. I felt like I was going faster. I don't know what to believe anymore.

I ran from my place down to through some dirt trail along the Santa Ana River, which has bike paths. Then I ran up little on PCH and then back the way I came. I felt ok, but my left knee was hurting. It wasn't all on dirt, I had to run concrete some.
