knee problem - R.I.C.E

I am really disappointed, i think i won't be able to do the first 5k i signed up for and will probably have to wait until the month after...
I am going to go to a good physio and also to a specialist running shop... i already have custom orthotics, but maybe they didn't have enough motion control and I am still over pronating, I don't think that is the only problem tho
I am thinking very gloomily about this and feel like I will never be the runner i want to be
I might have to end up going back to cycling, which i would prefer not, because I prefer running. could it really be just a case of too much too soon?
I have been so careful most of the time...Damn
Anyway i will do all i can to find out if it is a curable problem...
Thanks Running Bob for the reading suggestion I will definitely check that out

Patience, grasshopper. Remember to take baby steps. Running is something you work up to over time, and every runner has to fall back a bit occasionally. There's going to be lots of races in your future-better to skip one and take care of a potential injury than to risk racing and really hurt yourself. And don't you want your race experience to be a really good one? You are a runner. You can do this. Just do it carefully!

You'll be able to run again. Injuries are terrible and devastating, but resting and taking it easy will get you back to running even sooner.

Are you doing okay? You haven't posted in awhile. Remember, injuries are temporary, running is...
