random bruising?

tarab21 Posts: 508 Joined: 2003/03/31	2003/04/30, 02:55 PM hi, I've been working out for one month now. I started jogging just this week and noticed a strange deep blue kind of "spotty" bruise on my knee? Is that caused from being new to jogging? has this happened to anybody else? I also have one on my shoulder that's pretty bad but I know it's from the leg press. Thanks
