Thank you for your response Julie, I have been concentrating on stretching my quads (standing up and bending one knee) and hamstrings (toe touches) as well.
I was reading up on Quadricep Tendonitis, and it appears that it may be what I have on my left knee.
The symptom that really hit home was a sensation of 'warmth' on the affected area -- which is what I feel right above and to the left of my Patella while working out.
To my knowledge the best practice to relieve Tendonitis symptoms is to rest and ice for 20 minute intervals twice a day, till the issue is gone-- then easing back into the excercises.
Thoughts?
