Crap -- seems I overdid it a bit this week running three miles on rolling trails after doing nothing but walking over the holidays for a few weeks. I have a definite pain on every step above my left knee. DH said it was quadricep tendinitis, which I looked up online, and danged if it doesn't sound exactly like that. I've been icing like crazy today, but the web site I read says to take it easy for FOUR TO SIX WEEKS!!!!

Has anyone else had this? Does it really take that long to heal!? And if so, would putting my bike on the trainer and pedaling with minimal/no resistance be an alternative to running for aerobic activity in the meantime? I don't have access to a pool but I have to get some cardio!

Sigh..........
