Check Up

NYRR offered a free pre-marathon check up last night and, according to a whole pile of physical therapists, doctors, residents and sports medicine people, I am capable of doing this race despite the nagging pain in my left knee.

They suggested that I strengthen my quadricep muscles and ice my joints after running. Apparently, relying on Ibuprofen is not such a big deal.

Afterwards, I swung by the gym, did some leg lifts and ab work, and ran 7.25 miles.

And my knee was killing me.
