I think you should have your shoes checked out. Go to a running specific shop rather than a general sports shop and get them to check your gait, most have a treadmill in house to do this. It's always useful to take your normal running shows with you so that they can see the wear pattern. It's possible that you need more supportinve shoes? There are also a series of excercises that you can do to strengthen the quad muscles that support your knee cap if it turns out to be good old "Runners Knee", or illotibial band syndrome. Some useful info on the Runners World web site.
