Yesterday I went to an orthopedist and I was diagnosed with having inflammed tendons in my left knee. Tendonitis is a good word for it. It is an overuse injury as my body was not equipped to handle the mileage that I did. Apparantly, one cannot go a few weeks without running and then wake up one day and run a 10K. Who knew.

So although the pain is still there (and is going to be there for several weeks), I feel better knowing what the injury is and that it will eventually heal.

One interesting comment from the orthopedist : "You have the build of a sprinter more than that of a distance runner." Interesting.

Anyway - how about dem Mets? Pretty good!
