This was a dark week. The knee pain I experienced at the end of last week returned with a vengeance and for the first time ever I had to walk home part-way through my run (twice).
I did some research and it appears I have the aptly named "runner's knee." Pain behind the kneecap, especially on downhills and when resting with the knee bent. Caused by irritation to the cartilage on one side of the kneecap. Maybe from overpronating, who knows. Solution is lots of rest. I will take this week off, though I can't afford to. I don't know what this means for my winter races, but it's probably not good.
