Advanced to 3 miles a day this week. Same pain as 2 miles so I guess that is a good sign.

Three mile run today outdoors with each mile 1 minute faster than the previous. First mile was 8:00 second mile was 7:00 and last mile was 6:00. Overall knee painful during first mile but as I went it felt a little better. Still hurt the whole time but bearable and decent compared to most days. This was a good day that once again gives me some hope for the future.

3 miles with James and Jared today. 1st mile in 8:08 and then paced Jared for his mile PR of 6:56. His first sub 7:00 mile. Then did one more with just James at sub 7:30. Again some knee pan throughout but bearable. So 15 miles this week which is a post surgery high mileage week. Just think maybe by the end of the month I will hit a 20 mile week!
