Trail miles... probably faster than my doc wants. Couldn't help it, felt very good to run today, I wanted to keep running. Worked on lifting the knees more while running.

More fun trails, warm, but don't really notice on these short runs. Feels really good right now, doc in the am so I'm hoping for a clean-er bill of health and some more running.

Doc visit today. Had me all over the place stretching and working out. Put me on TM  and I had my phone in my pocket. So I hit start and then stop, but hopped off it to empty my pockets. He said "you didn't just do that right in front of me??" He told me to stop doing things like that or I would aggravate my injury. So I ran on the TM for just under 10 mins... it was funny... he said "you make that look so easy". Here I am just trying to land on my forefoot and keep my knees up. Anyway, after a long visit, he will see me again a week from Friday but gave me the green light to move up to 5 mile runs and even add a little speed in later :) Happy  news for me! He said if Friday goes well I can move up to 10 miles. I am hoping!!  

He also said don't be a knucklehead.. hummm...

Taylorsville trails and then some bike path. Very nice morning to run. There is mental aspect of increasing mileage that triggers in me. Hard to explain. When I cant run at all, and then can run even just a few miles it is frustrating yet nice to be able to just run- even if a little. Then getting to bump that up does something mentally that I like.... so I'm mental.
