It's nice to find others with similar experiences, even though pretty much everyone will tell you 1. Rest and slow down 2. Ice it 3. Judicious use of antiinflammatories 4. See a doc 5. If all else fails, get an MRI.
It could be worse. We could be runners. I found this quote in yesterday's paper:
Fleet Feet running coach Erin Sheehy, who is 22 and has been running for seven years, said she knows too well the consequences of training too hard, too quickly. She has endured knee injuries that derailed her from the sport for up to eight months.
