Cortisone

Its been a while since I have posted anything and that is because I have not done anything in a while.  Since the Denver Marathon I have had severe knee pain whenever I run.  I have tried to go out a few times and it generally has taken a week to 10 days to recover from a 30 minute run.  The straw that broke the camels back was a 5k run on Thanksgiving (6 weeks after the marathon) that felt like a second marathon.
I finally decided that time would not heal these wounds so I went to the doctor.  It turns out I have a severe meniscus injury, but no tear.  That is the good news.  A cortisone shot and a couple weeks should facilitate my recovery and allow me to step into my 20 week training program for St. George in the end of December.  My running may take a little longer to get into but at least I will be able to cycle and swim.  Im starting to get excited for St. George!
