I think I’ve finally figured out exactly what causes the pain in my knee.  It’s whenever I put weight on it.  Even as I just stand here and I stand on one leg, if I even try to squat a little – barely move down, it hurts a lot.  So I guess when I run, not only am I putting all my weight on one leg, I am POUNDING the weight onto it.  =

Suck.  Although, after about a 1 mile warm up, it starts to feel slightly better.

Dang it, I hope these exercises actually fix it.  I hope I don’t have to pull out of the half.  =
