5.0 40:36.1 147 Easy up the Canyon (2+2+1). I didn't run yesterday because Tuesday during my run, about halfway through, I had a sudden onset of runner's knee (or something of the sort). My right knee, on the inside, lower edge of my patella was sore and stiff all day. When my alarm sounded Wednesday, I checked it and decided that it wouldn't be a good idea to run. I stopped taking glucosamine (which I started taking the second or third week of August when my knee started to feel a bit of pain as I ramped up my miles) the day after the marathon - 'cause I ran out. I bought some cheap stuff at Walmart Tuesday. I also realized that I have dropped my water intake significantly and wonder what made the most difference - the lack of glucosamine, or the lack of water. I've had some good weeks since the marathon, and I guess I can remember a bit of pain in the past couple weeks (water or glucosamine?), but it sure came on strong Tuesday. Maybe I'll nurse it back, then alternate between a reduction of my water consumption and reduction of glucosamine in monthly cycles to see what make the most difference...
