Last night I'm standing in the grass and my left knee started irritating me. Right on the little bump at the outside of the knee, where a tendon from the lower leg connects. Not a real serious pain, but an annoying little thing that came out of nowhere. Didn't feel it at all in the a.m., but there it was all of a sudden. I jogged a bit and nothing hurt then, but anytime I was standing (or later sitting in the car) it would get painful. 

This morning I felt it as soon as I woke up. I went out and got through three miles; nothing feels wrong structurally but it's a nagging pain that hangs around. After 2.5 I decided to call it quits and come back to ice. So a three-mile run, 23:23. We'll see what sitting at work today brings and hopefully this goes away soon.

Try working out that outside calf muscle (peronious) and see if that helps any. It is a hard one to get any pressure on it yourself so see if you can get someone to really dig at it.

I'll try that. After my ride to work this morning it actually seemed to relax, and I didn't feel it all day. Hopefully it's not back tomorrow morning.
