Reality Bites.

So I've finally decided to face the reality that I need to take some time off if I want to be able to run pain free. Managed 3 miles today the last mile of which really didn't feel good. The knee area has been sore all day and I just need to give myself a solid chunk of time and not even think about going for a run till I go at least a day or two without noticing any pain or twinges of any kind in my knee. That could take till the end of the week, or it could take two weeks or longer, I really have no idea. It seems so strange to me that just three weeks ago I was running normal mileage and didn't even consider that I might not be completely better. Now here I am icing my knee and trying not to think about how hard it is to think about the big picture and sacrifice my sanity for the next couple of weeks. 

Ok, enough of the pity parade. I just need to find some distractions to keep my mind off my lack of running.
