On Sunday, I had an unofficial consultation with an ortho doctor (& running) friend of mine. He believes what I have done to myself is Quadriceps Tendonitis (or QT). Basically I've inflamed the tendon that connects my quads to my knee on my left leg.
Last Tuesday was a sad day (the day the runstreak died). Tonight, I'm feeling encouraged. I hit the gym a little bit this morning. Spent some time on the stationary bike (which hurt a little... not as bad as running) and some time on the elliptical (which felt pretty good considering). And tonight... I'm feeling really good. I'm not run-ready yet... and won't likely be for another 5-7 (maybe more) days.
But I'm hoping that I'm heading in the right direction: the direction of healing and getting back to a regular running routine.
