So...I'm two weeks out from the marathon, and I am in the downhill taper. This is the part of training where you take it easier and easier so you can be fresh and ready to go on race day. I should be stoked.
I would be stoked, but my knee has decided to crap out on me completely. I tried to run yesterday am, but my right knee started up with this piercing ache that made me stop after a mile, so I tried again last night, same story, but I toughed it out for two miles, and that dang knee kept me up all night, so now I'm icing it and taking anti-inflammatories, stretching any muscle that may be affecting it, and hoping that I can run again before the race.
If this effing knee keeps me from running the marathon, I'm going to be one miserable dude.

Go have it looked at, Billy. Seriously, doctors can work wonders for you--maybe they'll provide the right drugs or a special knee brace so you'd still be able to run.
Hope this gets worked out! You've worked too hard to not be able to participate.
