sorry to hear about your knee! What I hate most about an injury is not the injury itself, but forcing yourself to relax and show some restraint. I only did a short run this Monday and then noticed some minor pain in my left foot and Tuesday morning it was still there. I decided that for once I will not ignore this, but rather wait until the pain is gone. Obviously, it's that kind of pain that only sometimes occurs, which drives me nuts. Long story short: I didn't go running this morning either and now I am in a totally crappy mood. Because I know: it's probably nothing and it'll be fine after a run. Or maybe it won't. aaargh.

Hah, yes that's a tough one. I always try to convince myself of the following: Once I fully rest, everything other part of my body that might be overused or close to an injury will heal as well. "Vier Fliegen mit einer Klappe" as we say in Germany (as you know).
