After I visited Dr. Scoggin, I did exactly what he told me, except that I could not even make three miles.
I did run slower than usual, avoid up & down hill, ran shorter distance, did warm up five to ten minutes with stretch of hamstrings as he directed. Once I got home, iced my knee and took celebrex though I hate drug! Pain in the front part of the knee may be caused by a knee cap problem called Patella Femoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). PFPS is a condition of the knee cap characterized by a rough or soft spot on its cartilage surface. In the past, it has been called chondromalacia patella or runner's knee.
I found Dr. Stephen M. Pribut's Sport Pages very informative and helpful. Those pain scales I self-examined are somewhat between stage 1 to 3 depending on scales.
Anyway, it's too late to grumble about it. I better rest now.

I noticed you listed <a href="http://www.charanis.com/blog/">my blog</a> - thank you. I have heard of female runners HRM straps falling off, some ladies have incorporated them into running bra's or other cloths. I hope you like it though; I have found HR training to be fantastic.
So you are running a Marathon in only 3 months - use that HRM to make sure you rest on slow days. The fastest way to fail is to not rest enough.
I too had knee problems, an Ortho DR. fixed me up though and have been recovering the past month. First I thought it was <a href="http://charanis.com/blog/2005/01/04/146/">Chrondomalacia patella</a> but later I found that I had a tear in my left knee's meniscus - <a href="http://charanis.com/blog/2005/07/07/arthroscopic-surgery-on-my-knee/">so I had surgery</a> and it seemed to have worked. You will get better with PT. Runner's Knee -- stronger flexible quads and Ice.
My point is - take it slow and light but take it. Make sure you stretch your quads and knee (roll that cap around and push it towards your other knee). And spend some time with rubber straps or weights on your quads.
When you feel the base is built enough and your knee is better you can run hard and strong. Thats why we do it, right!
So a little Trivia - My wife and I spent our Honeymoon in Hawaii - 15 years ago next May.
Good Luck,

P.S. I'm guessing what to put in the fields above!!
Sorry I couldn’t respond sooner, I had my first race this morning (actually…already yesterday…) and I was too nervous. I’ll write about the race later, so if you have a time, please come again. How about coming again for your second honeymoon?
Aloha,
