Day 9: Visit to the Chiropractor
So... I went to the Chiropractor today and found out a few things. One: I am not drinking enough water and my muscles are dehydrated. Two: my inner leg muscles are stronger than my outer leg muscles. Because of this, my knee cap is being "pulled" away from where it should be and is rubbing, and in turn, causing pain. Three: the source of my problem is in my feet. I guess that my arch isn't all the great, so my alignment is off, which is one of the causes for my knee issue. So, the solution to all of this? Take a 2-3 week break from running (Curses!!), buy some new inserts for my shoes, and do some knee strengthening exercises. I do the exercises for three min, three times a day, for 2 to 3 weeks. I guess I will just have to see how things go. I am still planning on doing the marathon!! There are just a few of these things that I need to get fixed first, and then I think I will actually be better off in the long run. I'll just have to jump back into the training and work my little tooshie off!
