Big day at the gym. Ran 6.56 miles (yes that is about 1/4 of a marathon!) in 43 minutes with the last 1.5 in at 6 min pace. This is the longest I have run since June 5th. I obviously felt a few twinges here and there but for the most part I think my knees held up fairly well. I am definitely not ready to run hills and I probably won't try the pavement for at least week but at least things are finally looking up. Coincidentally I also got an email from Nike today for another shoe test. Being able to run again, at least a little, is similar to the feeling I had when I got my driver license.
