"A dull ache under, around, and/or at the outer edges of the kneecap. Pain can occur during physical activity. Current research suggests that the pain may be due to the contact and pressure of the malaligned kneecap on the underlying thighbone. Pressure, and therefore pain, are greatest when the knee is bent at 30 to 90 degrees."
Except I don't know if I'd say it was a dull ache! So I'm wearing a brace for awhile, and hanging out to see how I feel for the Mini. I should still do fine, ice and rest, and do some elliptical training. What a crazy weekend!! I'm very pleased that I'm fine, but it definitely hurt a lot!

nick, you pansy!! Let me know if you kneed anything.
I think I'll blog today about how I'm *not* in pain! So there!
Hey, I might have had that too for my first marathon (Duluth,MN-Grandma's). But I got injured for no unkown reason (there's always a reason)at the end of March last year. Went to physical therapist and got orthodics, but probably didn't need them. Couldn't run for a month, but afterwards, I was just fine. Ran marathon in Boston qualifying time (3:10:52-7 seconds to spare). Registered for Boston, went to Boston, but couldn't run do to an achilles injury. Maybe next year.
Keep doing "Cross" training, and you should be fine.
God Bless,
Shulzy
