Morning yoga flow.
Morning run. I must say I'm getting disappointed in my body. I'm fit but something hurts all the time. After dealing with my feet since September, I now have my left knee acting up. I can run fine for about 3-4 miles then it starts. I can walk a little or stop and stretch and it quits hurting for a little while. There is no pain when I'm done or any other time except when I run.
My first thought was IT BandSyndrome, because it does seem to be in my lateral knee. It can also feel like it's posterior as well, leaving me to think maybe it's calf or hamstring. I've had calf and hamstring issues on the left before.
I'm going for massage therapy today. I'll see how that goes. Rayleana thinks it my hamstring. It is much tighter.
