Emotional morning. Since the marathon, I really haven’t been able to run. I developed some knee strain in the final 10K or so and it hasn’t fully subsided. I tried a 5K a couple weeks ago and was on a limp for two days. I went out today with a knee brace and couldn’t even get thru a mile. I have every negative thought rushing thru my head rn. You’re too old. Too heavy for this sport. Everyone tells you you’re built for lifting not running. Running is meditation for me. I just want to get back to it but I know I have to listen to my body. Will be focusing on strength and recovery for a while. I will get back to the road. Eventually.

That's rough. I've been rehabbing a quad for 3 months and the decreased pace is killing me - You say it's a long wait to get into an ortho, Ask an AI what may be going on, some of them are very good (also, a good primary doc may be all you need) - A sports PT may be a better option because they can coach you on exercises to rehab an injury (but insurance may not cover without a referral from a doc)

Also, if it's on the lateral knee, it's most likely IT band syndrome (the most common running injury). Other thoughts would be a meniscus injury, patelofemoral syndrome, or pes anserine bursitis (if the pain is medial) I haven't done sports medicine for years though so I'm a bit rusty
