Runner's Knee

SO - I sort of took last week off...

which just so happened to be my first week of official training....

which made me scared considering I'm the only non-marathon runner on my team.

My knee didn't hurt,

but it most certainly didn't feel good.

A sort of twisted, not-aligned-correctly sort of feel.

But, thanks to a little rest and some great advice from friends and teammates,

I am back up and running.

Literally.

Making decent time, too.

I also invested in a knee band.

I'm a sucker for new accessories, so this was a fun purchase.

A little disappointed of the lack of color choices,

but will gladly take royal blue over knee pain.

(I am also praying to the tan gods...)

Today on my run, I gladly wanted to blame all knee issues on the roads of NOLA.

Observe:

(Look - this one is a big as a person)

I mean, good god, New Orleans.

I would also like to announce that we are finally racking in a solid group of sponsors!

Check 'em out on the side board!

We are happy to welcome:

To the rest of you,

we went to see chocolate Santa this weekend,

and he said that the spirit of Christmas was in the spirit of giving.

Merry Christmas to you all from Running for Ryan!
