Sore Everything

It's been a while since I posted, and this is what has happened since I last updated:

1. I've been running at least 5 days per week, which is more running than I've done since cross country in high school.

2. Everything from my knees down hurts. Name a muscle, ligament, tendon, joint, whatever. It hurts. They all hurt. Here's an example of what I'm talking about: There's a tendon that runs along the outer side of the knee called the LCL (opposite side of the ACL). One day during an average run my LCL stiffens up and feels like it just got three inches shorter. So I stop running, because, you know, it hurts, and go home to hit the internets to see what I might have done to it. I'm looking up "knee problems" on various medical websites and I'm reading about ACL and MCL injuries and all of the nasty things that can happen to your knee. When I finally find something about the LCL, all the entry says is, "LCL: Rarely Injured." That's it. So now I'm hurting somewhere so uncommon that the great and powerful internets can't even tell me what's wrong.

3. As for the allegations of sabotage, my key witness (the dog), seems to have come down with what can only be described as "Scooter Libby Syndrome", and has forgotten what happened. So I'm dropping the case.

Finally, here's a website that one of my soccer buddies referred me to. It's got great nutrition advice for all manner of exercise and sports activities and I've already learned that carbohydrates after running = happy muscles.
