I quit daily running because of a knee injury

I quit. I started running earlier this year and had the wrong posture (too low cadence at 160 steps per minutes). A slight pain started to kick in on my right knee in April, and it’s not going away. Fast runs or long runs make it worse. Doctors think I injured my meniscus. I’m doing an MRI in 2 weeks to confirm. Until then, I’ll run once or twice a week, very slowly. I’ll miss the daily early morning runs. They would set me up for the day and make me feel good instantly. I hate to quit and I feel dumb not having listened to the pain earlier. I’m going to double down on lifting to strengthen my legs until I get a proper medical report. Hopefully I can run like I used to in a few months 💪
