Knee issue

So I was on a roll.  Tuesday I went for a run.  Ran .5 mile, walked .25, ran .75, walked .25 then turned around and that is when I felt it.  In my knee.  But I was able to run back to the car.  Felt fine.  But when I got up Wednesday morning at 5:45 to get my kids off to school I got myself dressed for running.  Headed out the door at 7.  I walked .25 then started running.  Made it .25 miles and had to stop and walk.  The pain in my knee was terrible.  I could walk with no problems, but every time I tried running it was very painful.  So I took today, Thursday, off.  I think I will get up and go for a walk in the morning.  My friend has a knee brace she is going to let me borrow and see if that will help. 

Pain is not good. 

Food has been ok.  Back to working.  I have been packing yogurt to eat as a snack.  That seems to head off the gorging bug when I get home from work.  And trying to keep my portions at a regular size for dinner. 

Dh and I just went for a walk.  About .5 miles.

    Injuries are no fun at all!!, but try not to adjatate it any worse. I might try the knee brace if I were you but if that doesnt work, I would test my leg every other day in a stregneous situation such as running. It sounds like a small problem now, but the only thing worse than not being able to work out for a week because of a small injury.. Is not being able to work out for a month because of a large injury :/
    Im sorry to hear you are injured though!
    Best of luck and hope ti begins feeling better soon!
