Greta's cross-country career may be over before it truly began. She has been complaining about knee pain for months, so we finally took her to a physical therapist before the start of the season to have it looked at. I wasn't there, so Carey or Greta can provide precise medical details in the comments if they want, but basically she's growing too fast (4" last year!) and her knee cap is rubbing against her femur. So the professional recommendation is to strengthen her muscles before running again. She has a set of exercises to do daily and PT again next week. I could just be dreaming here, but it seems to me her knees will soon be strong enough for basketball in the winter!
