Back at it today!! I still was very unsure what to expect today. We headed out and the first 1 1/2 miles my knee was still pretty sore but I told myself to just keep trying to work through it. I ended up feeling really good. I still cannot get any sort of speed but I ran the entire time and never had to stop. We had to stop a light with about 1 mile left and my definitely tightened up so I will need to remember to keep moving at the lights. The route up until the last .25 had been flat or slightly up hill, the last .25 we took on a slight down hill to see how the knee would hold up. I could feel it tighten a little more but I did not have to stop. I think that today is the first step on the way back. I just need to remind myself to continue to take it slow and build back up. I will be in Seattle for work on Monday and so I will be running on my own. This will be hard to do with out Paula reminding me. Ave Pace 9:09 Happy Running! |
