11 days off...

my foam roller is my bff running item

ugh.
i ran 3 miles today in my new running clothes(brooks ls top, jacket and pants) and new watch (garmin 305, yay!!), all gifts for Christmas, which i was soooo surprised and thankful to receive!
i emphasize ugh since i had this pain on the edge of the top of my knee cap (or so that's where the pain feels like it is). it has not really gone away. i've taken aleve, iced it a few times, and i've done no running or exercise that puts strain on my knee for a very long 11 days. i missed running so much during this time. so today i ran 3 miles with my man, and after a mile, i noticed the twinge of pain. he made me walk the last half mile home to play it safe. i still think it's the Rectus Femoris tendon (that surrounds the knee) and it's becoming inflamed or bothered when my leg is in a bent position for some time. my PT friend is going to take a look at it and let me know what to do next. i have decided to not sign up for the marathon i was aiming for, just yet. the deadline for the lower prices is the 31st but it will be worth paying the extra if i am able to run it in 11 weeks. bummed but hopeful...
