dammit dammit dammit, I guess I have no choice

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

Today's run was going so well, reached 3 miles at a good pace. Stopped when my leg twinged, just like I promised myself. And I made it home and everything with no problems. But when I dropped off Emily at school and was play chasing her my knee just tightened up big time. By the time I was walking to the car I was practically having to limp. And the pain is not going away (which is not all that surprising considering I am glued to a chair).

I guess I have no choice, it is time to contact the doctor about this. Again, I can walk fine, up and down hills. I can run for short distances, but if I try to get much beyond 3 miles the pain kicks in. I am not sure what it is, but I am afraid I tore something and it is just not healing properly. So it is time to do the smart thing and get a doctor appointment. It's the best thing to do if I want to keep running and achieve my future fitness goals.
