This past Friday I was getting ready to run on my treadmill. While stretching my legs, I heard a popping sound coming from the area around my right knee. I thought didn't think the sound was good. I stood up and everything seemed to be alright.
I ran 2 miles because I had to get ready for work soon after. During the run, my right leg/knee felt fine. After my run, I felt some discomfort in my right knee, but nothing too bad.
For work I had to photograph a boys varsity basketball game. Standing my leg was fine. As soon as I bent my knee, it was painful. I continued working and made a mental note to myself, not to bend my right knee as much. I thought if the pain didn't go away by Sunday night I would make a doctor's appointment.
I didn't run Saturday to give my leg a day off. On Sunday I needed to exercise. I thought that I could walk, but decided against it. If I walked I would be on the treadmill longer then I wanted to so I decided to run. I originally thought I would only go 2 miles, depending on my knee. But my knee felt fine during the run so I ran 3 miles. On the last lap with less then a .10 of a mile to go, my treadmill belt starts to slip. I grabbed onto the handrails to keep myself from being jerked off. I finished my run, but I was mad. It was only a couple months ago that the front rollers were replaced on the treadmill. Now it felt like the same problem as before. Which set of rollers needs to be replaced this time? I asked my husband to call the company to set up an appointment to have it looked at. I hope that the appointment is soon so I can avoid running outside in the snow.
