Great News!

I saw a sports doctor this morning, and he said I'm fine to continue my training, and I should be fine for the marathon. PHEW! I currently have no pain. I skipped the training run scheduled for Monday and opted for 30 minutes on the elliptical. I also did yoga this morning, which seems to have really helped. I don't feel sore at all from the 18 mile run on Saturday. I feel no pain at all in my knee, even when I go down stairs. The doctor thinks my knee was just aggravated, not injured, which is such great news. I'm going to try for 5 miles tomorrow and see how I feel.

Thanks to all of you who offered advice, pain relievers, and prayers. It worked! I feel such support from my family and friends, and I could not be more grateful.
