Ok, so I am not giving up. I am just going to put the long distance runs on the back burner for now. Allow my knee/tissue to heal, strengthen and stretch and keep at it.
So here's my plan
May
Run every other day: T, Th, Saturday, with maybe a cross training on Wed. The days I don't run I will work on strength, pilates, core. I will stretch and roll daily.
I will cut mileage back so maybe do t and th 3 miles each then on Saturday try to run 4-6 miles unless it hurts
Run the Apollo 5K mid May
June
Reassess - continue with May's plan but try to run 4 x week and slowly increase miles.
July
Reassess - run 4 x week - hopefully by then do 3, 5, 3 then long runs on the weekend (start on half training schedule)
10k in Michigan
August
Continue to train for Half
If feeling good, plan an October/November Marathon - increase slowly
September
Run the half - if pain is good then go ahead with Marathon
